Sometimes when I look at old photos like this, I wonder what future generations will have.
I can go to a shoebox in the closet and see photos of relatives. I don't need to boot up a computer, remember a password, or think about my software. Plus there is a tangible feel of age that digital images on my computer never seem to have.
With technology changing as it always does, will the terabytes of images that people snap today be lost at some point?
In the past, you had to pay for film and then pay for developing. You took a more considered approach to photography, trying to snap "quality" photos of "worthwhile" subject matter. Very few people took film photos of
feces in a toilet bowl. Does the ability to snap terabytes of pure shyte photos with no associated cost diminish the overall relativity of photography as a whole?
