I’ve gotten some crap about taking over 1000 photos on our most recent vacation. Sure, that’s quite a few. But, check out this stat from Jeremy Toeman’s recent trip to the hospital for the birth of his child:
As a “on-topic†item, here’s a list of all the gadgets I took to the hospital
* Digital camera (Canon SD700is) – usage: approximately 600 photos in 48 hours
* RCA Small Wonder – usage: lots of video, easy download to PC, easy edits, worked great, no silly videotape needed
* Laptop + EVDO card – usage: sent photos to family at night, made Muvee mix of especially cute photos
* iRiver clix – usage: made awesome relaxation playlist for labor, never used it
* QuikPod – usage: tripod for extra video recording, still love my quikpod!
* Cell phones – usage: mostly ignored
At that pace, he wound have hit 7000+ photos on my vacation. See. I’m actually fairly normal compared to Jeremy.
Slacker – Sarah and I took almost 2500 photos while in Italy.
They say you only get 2 good shot per “roll,” which is what, like 1 in 18? So basically you got about 55 really good pictures.
How often does one go to Croatia anyway… I’m guessing you might want to remember that!
Oh boy.. “fairly normal” compared to Jeremy??? The gloves are off my friend. 🙂
I am a photo junkie, and the more I take the more I have to choose from when sharing, posting, framing, or putting in an album. And with digital there’s no wasted cost of film or developing photos you really don’t like. I say go ahead and take as many damn pictures as you want. 😉
