A painting of me

Who is remembering? ⇒

I’ve often wondered what it would be like to have many more such photographs. These days, parents seem to take thousands of photographs of their children – digital technologies make it easy to take and store them. How would I deal with a hard drive filled with thousands of photographs, instead of a book with less than one hundred? How would I even look through these photographs? What would these thousands of photographs mean to me?

I think photographs are less meaningful as their number increases. Scarcity certainly makes things more valuable.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
