I was explaining to a friend the other day how, before the age of the digital camera, I used to develop film on a near weekly basis - adding the prints that resulted into a painstakingly maintained pictoral catalog of my life. Now, I do the same here on this page.

Some people, I've heard, don't take pictures because they believe you should just "experience" the moment. They might be more at peace, but I bet their websites are pretty damn boring.
