One hour photo!

Do you want single prints or doubles?

These phrases mean nothing to my kids.


Instagram. Now we're talking.

"Daddy, put that picture on Facebook."

24. This used to refer to how many shots you could take per roll. Now it's how many megapixels your image sensor is.

Digital photography has opened possibilities through the removal of limits. Just keep shooting. You can delete later.

Film photography is encumbered by limits and forces creativity and thought. Of course, thoughtfulness and creativity are not exclusive to film. 

There is a sense of accomplishment that can be found in finishing a roll of film. I have never felt the same about filling up a memory card.

Keepsakes. How often do we print our digital photos? Every year during the holidays may be the only time many people print their photos. Digital photos live on a hard drive, on the screen, in the cloud, on Facebook.

What is a photo album to you? A folder in your computer? Or is it something you hold in your lap, flipping page by page? 

Shake it like a Polaroid picture! Actually, that's not recommended.
