Photo-Schmoto

Last night, I went to Wally-World to drop off some old film that needed to be developed. From summer '07 at the beach! Did you catch that.... it was FILM.....I know it's a digital world now! I have one of those big manual cameras that professionals use. I use to be in a photography class in college and LOVED it! That is one of my new goal.... start taking more pics of random stuff with both digital and manual! Anyways, when I went to fill out the film card, I couldn't remember how to do it.... plus they don't do 1-hour photo anymore! WHAT?!?!?! So, I have to wait 5 days to get my pictures back! Guess I have waited 2 years, what is 5 more days??

I have a hard time developing any kind of picture now a days! I can't remember the last time I had actual pictures developed. I even have one of those photo printers that you put your memory card in, but no I don't even use it! I always have good intentions to upload my pictures to Walgreen's or Wal-Mart, but some how I never get around to it! I'm sure that I would then never get around to actually going to pick them up! My logic goes like this... when there are pictures taken they will be put on facebook, Right? Why do I need them in my room? If I don't like the picture I can untag myself or threaten whoever put it up to take it down! That is one of the main things that people do on FB anyways... it has started to loose the appeal now since every album that is on my photo home page is of Babies (20 albums)! Super cute ones at that, but I have hit that stage where lots of people I know have started these cute little families! If it's not babies then it's weddings! One day when it's my turn, FB is going to be a thing of the past and I'm not going to get the proper revenge on all the photos I have had to endure! (Joking)

The point of having hard copies of pictures is to share memories with those who weren't there....so if they are online then you showcase all those great holidays, vacations, births etc.... cause NOW everyone and their mothers are on FB. Then if you are not on FB, you can blog about said occasions. Why would we ever need hard copies again? Plus, I also don't have any new pictures on my camera cause every time the opportunity arises to take a picture, everyone pulls out there camera and then there are like 3-5 cameras in a strangers hand. It just beings to be to much! I have stopped carrying my camera most of the time now! I know I'll be tagged in most instances.....if they ever get uploaded from the camera and then to stretch that put them on FB, MS, or Blogger....

Also now, since I have been tweeting more often, I can just snap pictures with my cell phone and Twitpic them! Instant gratification.....that is the name of our generation right?? If you are NOT on Twitter.....GET THERE! It's where it's happening! Come on, even our preacher was talking about it on Sunday! Anyone can do it! Make your way over there now and follow me!

So, I had all intentions of writing a totally different blog today, but this just ended up coming out.... so tomorrow I'll try to post my original idea! Please check back and don't forget to comment! That totally makes my day!
