I used to love photography. I never had the passion for it that true photographers do, but I enjoyed playing with my cameras, learning, trying new and creative things. When I got my DSLR I was so excited. Den and I both agreed that it was an absolute necessity before we had any kids, so I could take some good photos of them.<\/p>\n
And to be fair, I do have a lot of good photos of Kate. But I find myself reaching for my phone (droid) to take pictures rather than my very expensive, slightly fancy DSLR. For one thing I always have it with me. When juggling a child, diaper bag, stroller, and goodness knows what else, the last thing I want to do is be packing a big camera bag – not to mention risk getting water or sand or dirt in it. And the other huge thing about my phone is the one-touch upload to facebook. I LOVE that. I can share funny pictures right then instead of waiting until evening, downloading them to the computer, resizing them, and uploading them. Not to mention that when I use the big camera it’s never one or two photos, but rather 20 or 30 I need to wade through, edit, and cull. I can always manage to find 2 seconds to flick through photos on my camera and upload; finding an hour on the computer is much, much more difficult.<\/p>\n
Some days I look at my camera sitting on the shelf and sigh in guilt. I ought to be using it more, it certainly does take better pictures. Though not that my droid takes bad<\/i> pictures – it’s an 8 megapixel camera and the quality of outdoors pictures are really very good. It’s just, well… I feel bad for my big camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
