we take entirely too many photos

[davester]

Folks who take and keep zillions of pictures and then can't find anything are not doing photography. They are just caving to a need to hoard. I have a relative like this. She spends so much time taking photos that she doesn't actually enjoy the scenery. Ask her to show you her best shot of a particular trip and she can't possibly do it because that shot is hidden amidst mountains of garbage. It's like those little old ladies that live in houses full of cats or piles of newspaper. Photography should be about capturing the moments to remember or unveiling the artistry in a scene. That takes care and culling.
