i have a problem...

name of problem: i take WAY too many pictures

so the other day my brother informed me that on my families computer at home I am using 50GB of memory with MY pictures alone!!

I currently have a grand total of 155 albums on facebook.. each of which hold 60 pictures & now facebook allows you to create albums with 200 photos in each.. Lord help us all.

I knew it was bad the moment I started thinking at any event or vacations I would go on that i had to take at least 60 pictures while I was there so that I could make an facebook album out of them & while attending the event or special occasion I was constantly thinking of what a good/creative photo album title would be for the album.

my friends have caught on to my problem as well & one of my friends Andy told me that he was happy that we were going to the same college now so that his life at college will be documented :) I also informed my suitemates the first week that I met them that I love taking pictures & that I will be documenting their lives as well... & mark my words this statement held true- I got abt 30 fb albums to prove it! :)

however sometimes when I first meet people I am too nervous/self conscious to take their picture because I feel like they are going to get annoyed with me for taking too many pictures. also there have been times in my life when I will go a long time without taking any pictures (for me thats abt a month) & I notice that during those times I am not nearly as happy as I am when I am taking pictures regularly lol taking pictures and capturing moments is just simply something I LOVE to do! altho I find I need to be careful on missions trips especially that I am not spending too much time behind the camera and not engaging with the people I am with.

anyways not only do I have a ton of digital photos but I also have an entire photo box of printed photos from my film camera days & 15 REAL photo albums full of pictures as well!

its crazy stuff i tell ya! & some might say its out of control but I love photography way too much to stop & I will for sure continue to take WAY too many pictures throughout the rest of my life & fully enjoy every picture I take! & I hope that you can enjoy some of them as well :)
