As the year draws to a close, I’m going through all my old photos, i.e. junk, in hopes of getting back precious gigabytes and sending all these awful attempts at photographic art into the digital atom smasher.<\/p>\n

Most of my digital photos pretty much picked up a ludicrous pace in 2002 and 2003.\u00a0 That was T-E-N years ago.\u00a0 My how time flies.\u00a0 If I were to graph out the memory needed to store each year, it goes from about 10 Gigs in 2003 to more recently, 1 TB for 2012 alone.\u00a0 Which is utterly ridiculous when you think about it.\u00a0 (The random digital video files contributed to that digital glut as well, but thank goodness for mp4 compression)\u00a0 2003\u2026hard to believe it was a decade ago, back when the revamped Nissan 350Z was launched, and lovely Korean import models roamed the earth. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

It’s hard being an early adopter\/trendsetter, that just means you are the first to be uncool when it all comes crashing down.\u00a0 I mean that in a photography\/technology sense.\u00a0 First to get a digital camera?\u00a0 Yep, that was me.\u00a0 First to get a cell phone that you could put pictures on for caller id?\u00a0 Yep, spent a day converting those files.\u00a0 First to use a digital camera to take pictures of what I ate?\u00a0 Yep, a decade ago before the social sites.\u00a0 Random photos standing next to girls I didn’t even know or cars I didn’t even own? Yep, guilty as charged.\u00a0 So you see, all this has come before and will continue to be again.\u00a0 Maybe not for me anymore though, which I’ll get to in a bit.\u00a0 As a self proclaimed artist and creative person, I don’t know if there’s anything worse than realizing all your old work is junk and forgettable garbage.\u00a0 It’s really disheartening.\u00a0 I know you can’t grow unless you improve, but this is just the lifelong battle painters, musicians, and poets struggle with.\u00a0 At least I had some wisdom in me to shoot some moments with film.\u00a0 Looking back, they do have a timeless feel about them, instead of the soulless digital images that are beginning to look McDigital.<\/p>\n

That being said, most of the ease in our world is due to the digital revolution on all fronts.\u00a0 I wouldn’t be plugging away at this site all this time if it wasn’t for that.\u00a0 We now live in an age where you are encouraged to not delete anything.\u00a0 Just let it pile up and buy more storage space or let the various sites take care of it.\u00a0 Everything from good memories to inane chatter.\u00a0 I’m of the strong opinion that someone needs to save us from all that.\u00a0 Maybe it’s the younger generation.\u00a0 Maybe they’ll all get tired of this soon and actually step out into the sun and fix the world.\u00a0 Instead of ogling over a vintage photo of clouds, perhaps they’ll marvel at the idea that there are such amazing things as clouds, or dinosaurs, or alternate dimensions.<\/p>\n

I was never one to believe that life switches gears at the flip of the calendar, which ever one you follow.\u00a0 The photos I took ten years ago, just horribly inept hold down the button garbage type of photography, of just random shots that seemed to caused more harm to the universe by even attempting it.\u00a0 But we still did it.\u00a0 Because it was new, novel, cool, experimental, fun, just something to help the days go by quicker and easier.\u00a0 For many generations, photos were stored on the wall or in a box.\u00a0 Nowadays no one cares, and everyone has become the shutterbug that people like me to put into motion.\u00a0 Not saying that as a pat on the back for me, no, more of a kick in the behind, to get off that crowded ship and find something else to do.<\/p>\n

Some of the best moments in my life from the last couple of years\u2026no camera, no updating, no need to let anyone else know, those are the times of true wealth and contentment.\u00a0 I’m just glad that I still have the mental faculties to write about it, recall it without a photograph.<\/p>\n

\u2026But most everyone sees me as a visual photo person, so here’s a recap of 2012 in easy to digest photos. \u00a0These I would consider “B” photos though, the ones I forget about in the infinite grid of thumbnails. \u00a0In a few year’s time I wonder if I’ll look back on these with a “Meh” attitude as well, and just vaporize it all with a key stroke.\u00a0 Let’s hope not, because if so, we’re all just moving dirt around.\u00a0 I hope at least some of the pictures have a real type of emotion to them.\u00a0 If only a fraction of the ones we keep to ourselves.\u00a0 Thanks everyone, see you out there…<\/p>\n
