[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I cringe and plaster a fake-o smile on my face everytime a friend or family member brings out the 7 rolls (all printed poorly) of 'us in front of the Duomo, she in front of the palazzo, me in the museo'. I can't stand it. I sometimes forget myself and go into 'photo editor' mode, quickly shuffling through the photos - worse, I end up stopping on a mildly good composition and blurt out 'Now THAT is nice'. Implying the rest of the snap-snaps are crap.. Don't flame me - I treat my vacation snaps the same way. 10 rolls usually boils down to 5 photos that I risk showing to others. God help you when your friends hand the stack with doubles..
