The title:\u00a0The $800 Camera I Didn’t Use To Share My Hawaiian Vacation Photos<\/p>\n

\n

Before the trip, I thought that the hardest part of using the RX100 would be remembering to pack it<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

and<\/p>\n

\n

But those relatives didn’t even get to see those killer photos until we were back in California. Except for the few I explicitly forced myself to upload:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

and<\/p>\n

\n

This is what paradise looked like three hours ago. pic.twitter.com\/mq82cD3KnC<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

and<\/p>\n

\n

No, when it came down to it, we just couldn’t be bothered to bump two devices together. We’re lazy!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

and<\/p>\n

\n

But until or unless most high-end compact cameras have their own cellular connectivity\u2014yet another device to chew up your data plan\u2014and all the popular sharing apps built right in, there’s still going to be a gap. Any hurdle is too big a hurdle when you’re trying to enjoy your vacation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n

In short, I\u2019m the one in the wrong here. I don\u2019t use Instagram or Twitter or Facebook or Snapchat or whatever the kids use these days. I take photos for a week, go home and edit these photos (minimally mostly just straightening and white-balance) and then I upload them to Flickr. Some go on my blog and I hope the readers here enjoy the photos I take.<\/p>\n

The 2nd quote I lifted from the article about relatives not seeing their photos until the trip was over, give me a break! Let\u2019s think about 1999 when you\u2019d go on a vacation, you\u2019d get home, wait 24 hours for prints to process on your 24 exposure film and then your relatives would see those pictures if you mailed duplicates or the next time you saw them at a family function. That was 15 years ago yes but I\u2019m pretty sure my mom and dad are not going to go through many sleepless nights if they can\u2019t see my vacation photo the moment that I see it. My family is not actually very keen on photos anyway but I really doubt the author\u2019s family was that upset with a shot delay in seeing photos.<\/p>\n

Are we really that broken that nothing that happened yesterday matters anymore? That feels so depressing to me. I even ignore breaking news and wait for a journalist I respect to take in all of the facts and report a week later on things than read a half-written article on CNN IReport or whatever they call it from a blogger.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My favorite films, television, photography and published works took time to be manufactured and I really don\u2019t care what you\u2019re doing right now and I\u2019ll give one more reason for this\u2026<\/p>\n

Right now, 6 billion people are experiencing something that is unique to them and, given the right tools, they\u2019d be able to share it with all of us. In one week, how many of them are going to recount this moment in time as significant\u2026a month from now, a year from now even? One year from now if I ask everyone to recount what they were doing on Columbus day 2014, very few would remember and if they did remember, the memory may not be worth recounting or retelling. What I mean is, there are so many of us right now, we deserve to curate things a bit. I believe less people should post photos of their food or the sunset or what they\u2019re doing right now. I take photos of everything I do but very few go online because I censor myself or, in a week\u2019s time that moment was far less important than I thought it was at the time.<\/p>\n

If more of us waited a few days to share our moments, we\u2019d have a lot less BS in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad true photography (well, as true as digital photography can be) hasn\u2019t figured out the link to Instagram or Facebook yet. I\u2019ll be buying real cameras for a long time and accept the fact that I\u2019m in the minority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Gizmodo: (i\u2019ve always hated linking to this blog) – Also, I\u2019m going to link to some quotes…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-10-03T13:46:16Z","apple_news_api_id":"ac1d4311-5785-455e-a17a-ed4e966fc3a9","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-10-03T13:46:16Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/ArB1DEVeFRV6heu1Olm_DqQ","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-16S","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7552,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2018\/08\/28\/linked-2011-pocket-camera-vs-2017-iphone-8-plus\/","url_meta":{"origin":4270,"position":0},"title":"Linked: “2011 pocket camera vs. 2017 iPhone 8 Plus”","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"August 28, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Rob Griffiths: This is a comparison of a $349 camera released January of 2011 and a $1,000 camera released September of 2017.
