I am swimming in pictures... what now?
With the advent of digital cameras, we are all in trouble. It's called overload.
I have only had a digitals camera for about 6 years. First there was a Caribbean cruise. Took over 300 pictures. The ship, its smokestack, the radar antennae, towns, seagulls, mountains, trees etc. etc.
Then there were a couple more cruises, same thing. I decided to put them all on CDs. Quite cheap to do. Looked at them all once; now they are on the shelf waiting... to be looked at again. All images are spectacular, at least to my eyes. Maybe in a few years the time will come to spend hours viewing them again.
Then there is the shoe box with pictures from yore, some 70 years old. Last time I looked at them was also a few years ago. I think I threw out my hundreds of transparent slides, can't find them anymore. The projector and screen are long gone.
Now I have a bunch of current pix from RV travels; Baja, about 40 US States and Canada, as well as Sicily and Italy. A bunch are on paper and a whole bunch on CDs and in the computer.
What am I gonna do? I thought about adding up all the pixels to get a perspective on the situation. I am losing sleep these days just thinking about it. ;D
Have been reading the "CATHY" cartoons lately; which brought on this little post. 8)
Someone, or all, give me an idea what you plan to do with your 60 trillion pixels. Are they recyclable? :
