I've been thinking about this alot, lately---the incredible opportunity we have to record, manipulate, and store images. It's insane, really. I'm manufacturing digital "memories" on an almost daily basis....and I love it. I love the learning process, the thrill of implementing new skills, the research involved. I love honing my internet searches. I love scanning tutorials. I love editing, creating, posting, feedback....but this takes time. Time spent connected to cameras, computers, and cords. Time spent with objects instead of people. My family. THE REAL WORLD.
Granted, I do try to schedule my non-interpersonal, computer-love sessions---lap-topping-it-up while Anna sleeps, eats, or plays with Karl---but I know there are times when both my husband and my child view this machine in my lap as a competitor.......and that's just sad.
She's upstairs, sleeping; he's busy kicking Nintendo Starfox ass. I think I'll shut down and go kiss them both...as soon as I finish photoshop tweaking this post. |
