As I just replied to a sibling comment, I'm not sure this is entirely true. If I look at old pictures my parents took on film, a lot of them are frivolous and unposed--and enjoyable, because they're not a row of people standing with picture-smiles on. The pictures were expensive, but the attitude to taking pictures was also different. You'll find out if the picture was good in a couple weeks; no sense taking another.
- bluGill 7y agoEven when taking frivolous pictures more care was taken about when to take them. Most people didn't carry a camera with them like they do now, thus even then frivolous pictures of the past were more planned because somebody had to think ahead to break the camera. (Cell phone cameras have nothing on the lens of a SLR, but they are amazing within their limits) Of course every family did have the photobuf who always had a camera in front of their face even back then. Most people in the family didn't though.
