entry arrow9:26 PM | A Generational Divide in Photography

Whenever I ask a much younger friend to take photos of me doing stuff, I get anxious when I get back an avalanche of said photos. I mean, thank you for the generous coverage, from all possible angles, but I’m from a generation where we only got 12 or 24 or 36 shots per roll, and every shot was indeed judiciously considered. There is a curious generational divide between photographers who grew up with manual cameras where we loaded finite rolls of film, and photographers with digital cameras with almost infinite takes. My boyfriend is amazed that when I take photos of things, I do only 1-2 shots, and I'm done.
