Pictures

Last night I stayed awake until like 4:00. Why?! I was so wide awake. it was eleven. I didn't want to go online because I need a break from it, and do other things. I read my book, but I got bored with it quickly. So I went into my closet and took down old memory boxes, and went through it. I looked at old picutres, read love letters, and went through some things I collected throughout the years of Middle School and High School. Though some things are gone during my house fire, but some things still remain (with the smoke smell). I looked at my picutre in the year book and my family album. Those were great memories made. It made me cry and laugh looking at those pictures. It's unexplainable the things I remember last night.

I want to look back one day with the same feeling in the far future. Now days, everyone are getting digital cameras and loading it to their computers. The picture quality is great. It's fun to use or do new things with the inhancement and technology of picture taking. But, for me, I want pictures that I can hold in my hands and not through a screen of a computer. I want to be surprised of the pictures I've taken in a roll of film being developed at the store. I mean it's fun to do it yourself at home, but it's quite expensive now to print your own picutres, because the ink and paper you use. Also, you can save it into your computer, but what if it crashes down one day?! And sometimes people don't have time to sit there and do photoshop things on the computer. Even though some people may like the new modern day pictures, I still like the old regular picture taking days. So, from now on, i'm taking pictures the old fashioned way.

One of the reasons why people have digital cameras is that when they mess up, they can delete it and take another one. But I think that every picture taken is worth it, even the messed up one. I'll take pictures and never delete any moments frozen in time, even the mess up pictures.
