Do you recall the good ol’days, in fact not too long ago when you were still using those huge conventional film cameras? Those days, every photograph you took counts as you only had 30 shots. Besides, the film costs money and the developing costs even more, even the batteries in those cameras dig deep into your shallow pockets. Take a moment with me and try to recollect the kind of excitement you had after collecting the developed photos. Now compare it with the excitement you feel today when you transfer those digital photos from your digital camera onto your electronic machine at home, rating your excitement on a scale of 10. I don’t know if you notice the difference but I somehow feel a tad less excited these days with my countless of digital shots compared to the heydays. Perhaps these days, taking pictures comes so easily and so cheap that it no longer creates the sense of anticipation and value. Since it’s free, just take only lah. Not nice ar, take again lor.
Nonetheless, I remain a beneficiary of the new technology. I confess I still like taking photos since it’s free and we can always take and take and take. Hah.
