A few years ago photography used to be more expensive so it was just for special events but this is not the case anymore. Most of us don't have a thousand of high resolution digital pictures of ourselves as babies etc. however today (not everyone I know because there are a lot of poor people)  there is the possibility of documenting each every second of a person's lifetime with digital cameras.


So how do you feel about living something like the truman show?

Do you think people take too many pictures today?

Are digital cameras destroying the good and old family values of 1994?

Do you think it's cool that people can do things like "I'll take one pic of myself every hour for 20 years" or do you think it's scary because it reminds you of the inevitability of aging and death?

How the hell could you possibly think that digital cameras are destroying the family values of 1994? 

Also 1994?  Huh?

fuck kodak moments i havnt taken a photo since i was like 14 bro.

the good times are all in my head.

how the hell could you not catch that that was a joke?

I think its stupid btw unless you're documenting something of interest or importance rather than your same boring ass ugly face tilted at a slightly different angle.

My brother's girlfriend is really really fucking bad about this and everytime I log into myspace on the dumb friend update thing I see about five new pictures of the same chick at a slightly different angle sometimes with her dog or with my brother or with a friend.

Mostly the dog though because I think everyone else gets tired of it.

I can't fucking stand people who are constantly taking photos unless they're photographers obviousl or just actually good at it like flowerpowers

the worst is nights out, I do not want to see how fucked up I was or how inappropriate i was being with anyone's little sister just put the camera down and let stuff your brain wants to forget be forgotten not pinned on some student faggot's dorm noticeboard

it's stupid but I don't think it's ruining anyone's life, it's just a bunch of high school and college kids who would be dumb no matter what and they'll eventually grow out of it

I wish my entire life was just like in the Truman Show. Then I'd have a reason to go nuts and kill the weird dude with the camera that has been following me since I was three

there is a microsoft guy who has been saving and chronicling every thing he does his entire life except for like POOPING apparently. on video. files all his receipts etc so they can be in virtual memory one day

you gotta wonder who he thinks will be in charge of compiling all of his life records into an incomplete and misrepresentative compilation of his life

My only issue with pictures today and pictures then is when I am older I am basically going to have NO PICTURES of my teens/early 20s on account of the fact every picture taken during this time is stored on FACEBOOK and nowhere else. When I am like 40 and want to show my family THE CRAZY STUFF DADDY GOT UP TO I won't even be able to because those pictures won't even exist anymore. They'll have to make do with me between the ages of 0 and 10.

throughout my childhood we very very rarely had pictures taken and when they were they were terrible, my dad used to have to photograph his students work and if there was film left over then IMPROMPTU PHOTO OF GRUBBY KIDS. film used to be really expensive so this was the justification. then digital cameras came down in price and they got a little camera shopping crazy, i think they have like 10 digital cameras now. not really more photos.

i'd love to chronical every second, not necessarily to rewatch or do anything with but because i love archiving stuff

print them out 

Shaytards.

cameras are a necessary part of life because the number of photos that you have on facebook is proportional to how cool you are

print them out 

yeah most of them are kind of gay though and not really worth having in real life. like, MEMORIES and stuff is good on internet but they're not really photos i'd show my kids. here's me in a club and here's me in a pub and here's me looking vacant while the dudes to the left pose

these people fucking suck but their toddler is cute. too bad mom or dad says some stupid staged shit to her every video and you're thinking god they're gonna raise their kids to be horrible people just like them. also they are mormon and subtly racist.

i don't see why people think facebook photos have replaced real photos.  If you want real photos, go take some nice real photos

To see a film depicting this very topic, watch The Final Cut, starring Robin Williams. The movie itself isn't that great, but it's not bad either.

That's an awful film

Mateui just mentioned it because one day he's going to be working in a walgreens too
