Well, I finally broke down and got one of these!
I had a point and shoot camera but the battery died. A new battery cost $59 and I would just rather buy a newer camera than spend $60 on a 5 year old camera. You’re probably thinking, why does she want a point and shoot when she has a SLR camera? Well, I’m very picky about pictures….I love photography….but I don’t always like professional looking pictures of me and Kaz for a couple of reasons….1 I don’t always want to carry my big camera around with me. Sometimes even if I’m on vacation and I have the big camera it still feels like work. I still have to edit the pictures….2, Not a lot of people knows how to use an SLR camera so I’m always disappointed in the pictures after they are taken. And to be honest, I get nervous handing some stranger a $1500+ camera that my business runs off of! 3, I like bad pictures SOMETIMES….I love looking at pictures and to be honest some of the worst pictures are my favorite when it comes to my family [NOT PROFFESIONALLY speaking…I would never give someone a BAD picture professionally]. Does this make any sense whatsoever? I honestly feel bad sometimes putting pictures on my personal blog that aren’t professional. I know a lot of photographers who would never do that. For me, most of the pictures taken that are on this blog are from my iphone. I don’t want every picture taken of my family to be perfect so please don’t criticize my photography skills based off of some pictures on this blog:)
So anyway, I’m loving my new
Kodak point and shoot camera! :)
Speaking of pictures, how do you store yours? Currently, with my personal pictures, I create new albums and upload them to
Snapfish. I’m trying to create a photo book for every year of our marriage so anytime I upload an album I automatically create 1-2 pages in the book and design those 2 pages. That way it’s a process and not something I have to spend 4 hours on at the end of the year going back through pictures trying to figure out which ones to use. BUT my problem is I have a HUGE box full of pictures and CDs that just sit in my closet. Most of them are just pictures-No digital record such as a CD all the way back through high school. I don’t know what to do with them….I don’t have the time to put all of them in an album, but I hate the thought of them just sitting in a box unorganized. I think honestly those are my only 2 options though….I’m confused and don’t know what to do….As you know, pictures are very important to me so I want to keep them but they are useless sitting in a box because I will probably never go through them if I ever did want to look at them. An album would work but it would take awhile for me to get them all put together. I literally have probably 2000+ pictures that I’m talking about…..Urggggg-What to do:(
How do you store your pictures? Tell me the good and the bad experiences that you’ve had!
