Technology marches on...

All of us have kids, and all of us will someday have to have those children sit for their senior portraits, just as we all sat for ours. Katey, our 17 year old, just had hers taken, and we've now seen the proofs.

Today's modern cameras all seem to be digital, so the proofs are offered online. Where the pics I had taken (more than a quarter century ago) were proofed in six shots, Katey's are shown in 168 different shots and poses, any of which we can have ordered, enhanced, matted and framed for delivery... all from your home PC. Talk about making money... this photographer has made sure she offers the most product in the most convenient manner possible, all in order to get the most orders possible. Good for her... expensive for me, I'm thinking.

All I can say is that anyone expecting a Christmas gift from our family other than a framed portrait of our oldest needs to get with the program now, in order to avoid disappointment later. Hehe...
