Photos

Photos. 

It seems that we are a culture of photographers. Now with high quality cameras built into our phones we snap away freely. Hundreds, no more like thousands of photos amass.

Those of us who are highly motivated archive these photos safely away for future reference. Some take great pleasure in creating scrapbooks using photo albums or digital to record precious memories. 

However, back in the day the number of photos taken were limited to the size of the roll of film. Only professional photographers had the luxury of shooting rolls and rolls of film. 

What has happened today is we have become photo hoarders. The quality of photography has so vastly improved that it is actually difficult to take a bad photo. The end result is thousand of photos too good to delete. Just like too much stuff, you end up with too many photos. 

I'm beginning to think that a much edited amount of photographs might actually end up being more meaningful. I think it might be time to do a photo purge.
