I love photography, and I enjoy the photography on many of the blogs I follow, this one certainly included! But I must respectfully say that I think it would be setting the bar quite high to expect photographs that will not only be technically excellent, but which will also document the present in a way that will speak clearly and well to future generations. If I thought my own photographs had such a heavy rsponsibility, it would take much of the fun out of photography for me. But maybe that is not what you mean, and I misunderstood? In any case, I do hope I haven't offended anyone! I enjoy bloggers' photographs very much, and many times it is the off-the-cuff, personal, quirky quality that I find most appealing.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-19797824498009866102011-11-04T13:08:19.841+00:002011-11-04T13:08:19.841+00:00Oh but that the photos were a modicum of these!Oh but that the photos were a modicum of these!magsmcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278148796772565928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-12304345453409768492011-11-04T11:04:36.710+00:002011-11-04T11:04:36.710+00:00That's so true.
Until I started reading blogs ...That's so true.<br />Until I started reading blogs I never took photos of 'mundane' things. I had more photos of a holiday house than the house we actually lived in. Then I realised that it isn't right to think of things that way just because I see them every day. The little moments and everyday scenes are special too. It took better photographers than me to teach me that.<br />I love that last photo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-3247137215298368992011-11-04T10:47:20.788+00:002011-11-04T10:47:20.788+00:00Oops, I meant properly archived as yours is.....

Being dated, can be so useful too, for example when trying to tell a vet, without guessing wildly, how old your animal is!<br /><br />But for those of us whose blogs aren't properly archived, like yours, I wonder what will happen to them when we are gone? Perhaps like family photos, they lose their meaning when they reach a time when no one remembers who we were?rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-54259524198672825202011-11-04T09:27:01.947+00:002011-11-04T09:27:01.947+00:00Savvy and beautiful.

She suggested we ought to have an annual photograph day in case we need one for funerals/kidnapping scenarios.<br /><br />As one of my main reasons for blogging is to keep a family diary I have lots of photos of everyone else but not many of me. I'm thinking of doing a self-portrait and marking it "kidnap" photo!Jo Normanhttp://www.daisyley.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-54340796743074572352011-11-04T09:08:54.729+00:002011-11-04T09:08:54.729+00:00so true x thanks for the reminder xso true x thanks for the reminder xdriftwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11416170414524297337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-67153582841155276822011-11-04T08:35:48.281+00:002011-11-04T08:35:48.281+00:00v eclecticv eclecticMrMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-36711870814614951822011-11-04T07:58:52.808+00:002011-11-04T07:58:52.808+00:00I often sit and think how important our cameras ha...I often sit and think how important our cameras have become to us.
