That brings the list of tabs in the "daily reads" folder to an even 80. I definitely agree with your assessment of the advantages of digital photography. I've taken probably 50 pictures so far messing with the manual settings, none of which I care to keep. If the camera used film not only would that be an expensive proposition, but I'd have to have the frames developed before I could see the results of my work. Digital photos allow instant feedback as to whether I'm shooting with the right settings or not. Also, I can come here and post the results in minutes.

And, trust me, taking pictures when they are stored on bytes as opposed to film is an entirely different experience - you can take as many pictures as you want, from as many angles, perspectives, and styles as you like, and then get home and delete whatever you do not want. Electrons are near enough to free that photography by brute-force becomes standard. Of course, that <em>could</em> explain a lot of the gos-se on Flickr...
