clicking

gone are the days of leafing through a photo album of a friend's travel pix....nowadays it's a matter of clicking through them on iphones, ipads, laptops, notebooks, or desktop computers...at least on screens the images are usually larger and brighter than the old prints

yes, very true what you say. I am still on a fence which is better - a spray and pray of showing waaaay too many photos digitally, or time and effort that goes into compiling a nice album in print. Who knows?

Both good and bad. Much easier to share now, much easier to steal now. Much easier to show quickly now. But I still love making prints. ~V~

Interesting image and commentary. I always make a point of getting a selection of family pics printed every year as well as a photobook of holiday images...other than that it's all digital.

I love the tones here! V!

we can also make prints on paper the photos we scroll on the screen ... May I confess that for 8 years, I have not printed any of my photos ..

I miss those glossy and matte surfaces found on prints...

A sign of the times with instant pictures. V

I love the new way of viewing photos but I do miss the fun of the darkroom and seeing an image magically appear on the paper. I don't miss the cleanup after a long session in the darkroom! Good point and image.

My old photos never faded. But I see your point. Scrolling through them on smart phones is very convenient when someone wants to share their photos with you. This is a great photo, both on screen and actual shot. Way better than the average digital photo taken by your neighbor with their point and shoot. So this method is better for speed. And if you are looking at great images like those by Pbase photographers, you can stop and enjoy too. Sorry for rambling on. V.

You can't beat quality clicking.

I agree bill, old prints never die ! -V-

Thats progress for you, I wonder how we will all be viewing and taking images in the years to come, thought provoking.

..this must be in Greece! Nice thinking anyway!

I agree with you. It is easier and more enjoyable.

Stephanie		13-Jul-2012 16:55
Both you and Walter are correct! There are advantages to both.

I miss photo albums...get a different feel looking through that kind of albums : ) Great shot!

Old prints never die, they just fade away. Most digital images just end up in the recycle bin.

When I began photography in Indonesia, I developed and printed my own b&w images, a long, tedious and time consuming effort. The color film had to be dropped off at a lab and it could take 7-10 days to receive the prints, and the quality was iffy at best. For both b&w and color the cost was high, so one had to make every image count, which is something that has changed as well, as it seems most photographers no longer "compose" but just "shoot". A poignant image David.

Ain't the truth!
