Yesterday we finally visited Scotney Castle, a National Trust site - on our list of "must dos" for many years. Beautiful grounds with colourful foliage - and on a bright hot day - wonderful.
Anyway, wandering the grounds, I realised that almost all the "groups" - individuals, couples, families, or larger groups - each had at least one digital camera between them, sometimes more. As we were concluding our visit, Molly asked me how many photos I'd taken - I checked, 87. She then checked her camera, 87. A spooky coincidence or what? Anyway, nearly two hundred between us - the equivilant of three rolls of 35mm film - we'd never have taken that many in a month years ago.
Leaving aside the need to have access to a PC, the cost of photography has dropped dramatically over the past ten years and become a commodity. Where folk may have taken the occassional snap, now they just click away.
So here's the question. How many photos were taken around the world yesterday?
