Gimme a Shot

Looking at the photos on your phone (or camera, if you still use one), what place or type of event do you tend to photograph most often?

Honestly, if you look at my phone, you’ll see a lot of unintentional screenshots!

My phone has a mind of its own and it is a compulsive shopper. Seriously, I had to have AT&T block any purchases from my phone because the thing turns itself on and I caught it before some orders went through, but one night while I was in a store it bought an expensive digital dictionary. It’s a good thing that I caught it right away.

With that, it takes screenshots when I barely touch it.
 (I do have the ‘accidental touch’ setting on, I can’t imagine what it would do without it.)

I used to take many pictures of nature. I often carried a small camera but lost a really great one with many photos on it. Now try to get as good of a camera on a phone as I can.

I have boxes of family photos and used to be quite a shutterbug. I took photos of family (you have no idea how many redundant shots I have of The Sons when they were in Cub Scouts) and took a lot of photos of scenery.

Oh, how I LOVE the clarity of digital photos for nature. I have CDs with many shots from my last couple of digital cameras.

There were a lot of flowers and sunsets.

The camera on my phone is okay. Just OK. It is digital, at least. I can send pix right to my PC or share easily with FB or family and friends, so it’s good. I have lots of family on flash drives now, but not so much.

Once I would have easily said, “Grandkids”. I still have an incredible number of pictures of soccer matches, outings and them at my house. I’m lucky if I see some of them very often anymore, and can’t even get the one who lives here to let me take pictures.

I have many photos of food. (SURPRISE!)
 Yes, I still plan on doing more recipes/how-to-s on my other blog, but I have been moving slowly.

I still have sunsets. I still have family, but more of pets, and surprisingly, there are more of the granddoggy than my cats, (or sometimes together). The rest are cats with The Husband and Grandson, but Milano seems to be the one with the most shots on my phone these days.

Go figure. She’s sweet. She lets me. The cats are as bad as the grandkids.

Sunsets fade quickly, but at least flowers hold still.
