Curse of the Digital Camera

Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I take pictures with my digital camera thinking "Yeah! I'm a good person...look at me taking all these wonderful family photos...capturing the Kodak moments as they happen" then what??

The camera FOOLS me!

Once I load them to the computer I experience a strong sense of accomplishment and think to myself "it is finished". Oh, but it is far from finished!! I look around my house at the bare walls and empty picture frames (which I keep out on display to mock me) hoping such a sight would stir me to print the pictures...but no...it doesn't...all because of the curse!

The curse says: "you don't have time, you don't know which wall to put them on so you shouldn't even try" or my favorite "you took those pictures last year and you don't even have the same hair color!!" That one ends with a mocking evil laugh "ha ha ha ha!"

Well TODAY I will break the curse! I am going to print off some Damiens' family photos we took last November...that's right- almost 10 months ago. My hair has changed colors at least 4 times since then...but I'm not going to let that stop me!!

Next time any of you come to visit I will be able to show you ALL the members of our family.

However, if all else fails, I can always throw the camera away and save myself from guilt.

What a cute family photo—so creative. Can I take that as an invitation to come visit? : )
