As you've probably noticed, my blog loads very slowly. I presume that's because of all the pictures it contains. Although only a fraction of the posts load at one time, it seems as if all the pictures along the left side of the blog load when the blog comes up. Can't think of anything else that would bog it down so much. Blogspot keeps changing, and I have not kept up with it, so everything takes a long time to figure out or accomplish. Time, that's always the issue. Taking the time to sit down and work through something.
Last night I was supposed to finish a puppy flyer, but instead I spent an hour taking pictures off this blog. Amazing how many pictures I've loaded over the years. I kept stopping to look at pictures and think about the dogs, fish, and events they portrayed. Memories!
Remember when we used our Instamatics and little Brownie Hawkeyes and all the little point-and-shoots that came out over the years? And how expensive it was to take pictures, to buy the film and have the roll developed? And how often the roll of 24 might contain only 3 or 4 good shots - if we were lucky. Pictures were fun, but we took them sparingly, and when we came back from vacation, it cost us a ton to get the pictures developed so we could see what we had.
And now we know immediately what we have. Everyone has a digital camera or two, and probably a cell phone camera too. My current digital camera is my 5th, yet I still remember finding a digital camera years ago and being so disappointed when the owner showed up to claim it. They were expensive back then. Now you can take digital pictures for a few dollars.
My current camera is the best one I've had, and even came with a wonderful zoom, something I always wanted on a digital camera. And what do I do? I take the vast majority of my pictures with my cell phone. It's always with me, and takes great pictures. I never print the pictures, although I do add a few to Facebook or my blog, but my pictures are always with me, rather than in an album, or a box or in my computer, and I like that.
About 100 pictures got deleted off the blog last night, and I'll remove a few more tonight. Hopefully it loads faster now, and hopefully I get my puppy flyer finished tonight too!
