Thanks

So I'm not doing this every day. I might do it twice in one day and then not the next. That's how I roll.

I'm thankful for digital cameras. Remember the days of regular, film cameras, where you took a series of pictures and didn't know for weeks (after you finished the roll and had it developed for way too much money) if it turned out?

I went to this amazing concert of the Three Tenors under the Eiffel Tower in Paris. My pictures look the same as my Fourth of July fireworks pictures and numerous flash-less campfire pictures. And then I always had the problem (still have) of taking pictures without zooming in. I'd get my prints and squint at the middle to try and remember why I'd taken a picture of the stupid thing in the first place.

And then there are the sleeping zoo animal pictures.

But now, thanks to digital photography, I know which pictures to retake, which to delete, and which to use/not use a flash. I can upload a few to my blog, several to facebook, or all of them to my computer, and it costs me NOTHING. I'll print 2 or 3 out of every hundred to send to grandparents, but besides that, my pictures are better organized and better utilized than they ever have been.

Thank you, digital cameras!
