Week 3, Thing #7, Technology

It just dawned on me that I could do a lot with photography with my digital camera and Flickr. I love photographs and enjoy scrapbooking. However I have not taken any photographs in a long time. I kept thinking photography would be a hobby that would end up being too expensive. Now with a digital camera it is easy to take a lot of pictures (and delete the ones you do not like). With Flickr I can have a way of sharing my photographs with my family and friends. Also with the mashups that allow you to purchase a variety of things like the magazine covers or inspirational sayings, I would easily be able to buy items made from my photographs. I would not have to try to find negatives or try to figure out how to get the pictures from the digital camera to the store. I just joined Facebook this year because my friend from college was keeping in touch with friends that way. It was fun seeing pictures of her kids (who I have not seen in years).
