Photos are every where, but the ability to screen out the less than perfect ones has lead to everybody's photos looking the same. Background bokeh, perfect smiles. Most of the pictures I have from my teen years would not have made the cut, but the weird ones often represent memories better than a million perfect phone pictures.
- asdff 4y agoOn top of that, people insist you take a dozen photos of anything at all. If someone asks you to take their photo today, and you take just one and hand the phone back, you are seen as a sort of gruff asshole. Then the phone itself is recording a video for each photo, so you now have 30 frames to choose for each photo.

My rule of thumb was we'd be lucky to get one good shot out of a roll of 36, even with careful choice of pose, costume, location, background, lighting, and generally knowing what I was doing.
