![]() Quite frankly I can’t see the point of doing otherwise. A long history of preserving memoriesĮven back in the 60s, I was in the habit of putting all of my photos into albums. But since the days of the Instamatic, a camera of some sort has never been far from my hands. ![]() I eventually replaced the Instamatic with Dad’s old SLR when he upgraded, then later a series of digital cameras, and more recently a smart phone. Oh the anticipation of waiting a week or 2 for the prints to come back! Would they turn out ok? Would anyone have their eyes closed in that ‘special’ photo? In those days we couldn’t immediately check the photo, there were no photo bursts, and it used up too much film to take 3 or 4 photos ‘just in case’. I would then take the exposed film to the chemist and it would be sent away to be developed. That was the fun part! Prior to a special event I would load a new cartridge into the camera with the hope that I would have enough shots to cover the occasion. It had a cartridge style film with 24 exposures, and an attachable flashcube which exploded whenever a flash photo was taken. My brother gave me my first camera, a Kodak Instamatic, when I was about 10. He had a movie camera when no-one else seemed to I probably got my love of photos from Dad. And that is why I scrapbook and don’t hoard photos on my phone.Ĭameras and photos have been important to me since I was a child. Do you take photos on a smart phone? What do you do with the photos? Could your phone be turning into that future shoebox of unidentifiable photos that some have in a hidden corner of the cupboard? I don’t want to risk losing any of my precious photos.
