Back in the day when we had to take our photos to Boots to get developed, the only time we ever used to share photos was boring to death family and friends with our holiday snaps (like with a joint, you didn’t want to share them with just anyone). Now we do it to strangers too on social media of course. I’m such a Luddite, if I want to see some good photos, I’ll look in a photography book or visit an exhibition where hopefully the photos are larger than 3x3 inches. My eyes are fading too.
