So in my journey across a couple thousand slides from my parent's collection, I have had an opportunity to witness firsthand the difference between the film age and the digital age.
In the film age, most people felt obligated to print and include all sorts of dumb pictures in their presentations........probably because they had to pay to have them developed.
This is not to say taking and keeping dumb pictures is exclusive to film camera users.......I take a lot of dumb pictures.
Some examples:
Pictures of animals at the zoo (c'mon....everyone knows what a giraffe looks like; taking a picture of one in a cage is really nothing to brag about).
Pictures of crowded streets full of uninteresting strangers.
Pictures of art on the wall in a museum.
I DID find some interesting pictures too though.
Lots of great architecture (Paris, Munich, Berlin, etc). Lots of really great natural scenes from the alps. Also lots of pictures of strange women in skirts, etc........nice to know that my dad was as much as a pervert as I am.
