SavageduckMy son, sadly, is in this group. He has a Nikon DSLR, but since he went to an iPhone he has not used his Nikon. All his images are still on his phone. He is a techno-klutz, and isn't interested in knowing how to do anything with his photos other than leaving them on the phone.
Don't get me wrong, I am as much an advocate of the darkroom wet and/or digital as much as any of us geeky types, but we are not the mainstream. Most photographers today are shooting with phones and their photographs will never be printed, never entered in a competition, but will be briefly displayed on a phone in a transmitted message.
If it wasn't for my interest in photography, he will be without a photographic record of his family in these formative years.
His excuse is that I take enough photographs, retain them in my computer, and print enough that he doesn't need to. I also copy a select bunch each month and burn them on a DVD and give them to him. At least, if something happens to my computer, he'll have those.
His wife, my daughter-in-law was sworn in as a citizen of the US a few weeks ago. If it wasn't for my photograph of that event, they wouldn't even have a permanent record of that important occasion.
While the iPhone takes good photographs, and they can be transferred to a more permanent medium, many people just don't do it. Where are the albums going to be for future generations? -- Tony Cooper - Orlando FL
