One of the greatest technological advancements and pure gifts in my generation is digital photography. Because it is accessible to everyone and allows us to document our lives and the lives of our families in an affordable and easy way.
Here's the thing though. We take pictures. If you're like me, you take a LOT of pictures. And then what happens? They sit. On our phones. On our card readers. On our computer.
And how crappy would it be if this gem just stayed on my computer where no one could see it and enjoy?!
I am guilty of this as much as anyone. But that's changing. Right now. And forever.
Because truly, the photographs I take are among the most cherished things I have. Right up there with my husband, my kids, my boat, and my bed. :) If there was only one material thing I could keep in this world, it would be my pictures. Because my pictures are the story of my life. Of my family's life. It's what we do. It's who we are.
But my husband and kids have probably only seen about 7% of the pictures I've taken. Because they're sitting on my computer. That my kids aren't allowed to touch for fear of death. Or a broken leg. (I'm kidding. You can read here how he scored that cute little cast)
This is the year I have committed to stop thinking about things and start doing things. Starting with the things that are most important. Like photographs. And how to get all four of my kids to sleep through the night. Sigh.
So join me in this quest to get the pictures OFF the computer and OUT where they can make a difference!
