Photo's

How important are they to you?

I have hundreds and hundreds (mostly digital) photos, I like to map out hte different years of my life and what I was doing - its like a diary to me - anyone else take loads of pictures?

i have thousands on my computer, all in special albums, i have put these albumbs on dvd so i can see what happened in each year for the past 7 years, and the dvd's can be played on dvd players so it can be shown to family members as a big slide show. its good to have fond memories in pictures

I'm not a big fan of keeping masses of photos, though I do have a large set of pics from a 60s/70s night a couple of years ago - brings back lots of nice memories not just of that night, but also of the whole year in general :smile:

I have over 4000 photos from the past 3 years. Hardly any of me, I usually take them. I have 2 small children so most are of them :smile:

.

I just love to invite the family around to watch a slideshow of all 4000 pics in one evening. :biggrin:

i have absolutely no photo's. I DON'T Take photo's. I do not allow myself to be in photographs.

i don't understand why people keep photos of a time long gone. people smiling, looking so happy. boring.

I don't have as many photos as i'd like cos i don't have my own proper or digital camera, the only camera i have is on my phone and it is not very good, but i love having my picture taken, and sometimes my mates put photos they have taken on cds for me and i put them on my computer.

I must admit I have hardly any in paper form..almost all have been scanned or taken on digital...that said I have far too many of me when I'm drunk, or worse now with digital cameras...videos... :eek:

gotta persuade my mate to take less embarassing photos haha

i take a lot of photos, it will be nice when me and at least some of my friends can meet up and share the memories.

i had photos of my old dog who passed away a year ago, i will never ever regret taking those photos i loved that dog and dearly miss him.

Photos aren't great. You won't miss them if you don't have them.

Whats more I HATE posing for snaps almost as much as I hate seeing my picture on a hard copy (its not so bad in the digital age where you can just delete it).

If someone wants to have a picture to look at when he's ninety and got nothing else to do (too old for TSR :eek:

) thats fine, but don't make me stop what I'm doing so you force me to put on an uncharestically (sp?) inane grin.

I love my digital camera. I got one originally just because i thought they were pretty snazzy, but it's not until you get one that you realise how much more you take pictures when you dont need to worry about films and number of pics and the cost of getting them developed etc. you can "risk" taking a couple of shots of the same thing, safe in the knowledge it wont cost anything and you can delete the less successful ones. Since getting it a few years back, i've taken so many photos - i only wish i'd gotten it sooner. I love photos.

I like taking photos - hate having my photo taken. Although I'm not an "artistic" person, I like taking photos of sunsets / sunrises, and landscapes.

On nights out, I don't tend to take my camera with me (mainly because i'd rather not have drink spilt on it!) I occaisionally take photos on my phone but the flash on it is rubbish, and it doesnt cope well with the dark.

Most recent photos of me seem to have been taken after I've had a few drinks - one of the girls in my house at uni took quite a lot of photos during freshers' week - especially on the pub crawl. She also kept getting me to use her camera to take pictures of her and her friends.

I have hundreds of photos on my computer from my adventures with my digital camera in the last few years. I have them all in printed form too because nothing is better than a real photograph.

I don't take or keep photos, but I have two friends who have thousands of them. They are cool to have to look back on, and it seems like a good idea, it's just not something I've never got round to doing. Maybe it's because I photo so bad?!
