It was my intent to create this kind of funny/ cheesy feeling of someone's camera with all of their memories that cover a wide range hinting that you can take pictures of literally everything in life and you new digital SLR camera can handle the memory. I wanted it to be a positive feeling and also showing the advancement of technology on how pictures are processed and how instant the images are. I think its funny how it started out negative and ended up completely on the positive side and even though it is a little cheesy, i feel that i shows the public that these cameras are getting more advance and easier to use and that they can capture everything that happens around them.Greg Gentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07122795142448620879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513084220719458715.post-25249313780655685902008-11-14T10:01:00.000-08:002008-11-14T10:01:00.000-08:00so. here we are. full circle. the placement and si...so. here we are. full circle. the placement and size have stayed similar to the original, although the image is now the back of the camera. now as a viewer, i am able to conclude that this indeed is a digital camera. the fact there is a view screen, memory card, and many images sort of flowing into it. now introducing the super small print outs directly from the camera! there is a very neutral background and the camera is a substantial deal lighter than the first two postcards. the text 'capture everything' deals with the fact that digital is able to hold many images at a time on a single memory card, unlike film that holds anywhere from one to 35 images. i feel very neutral about this postcard, but it is a bit more on the positive side because of the images themselves. they run the gamete from weather shots, family, and landscape shots. they remind me sort of hallmark feel, not exactly the most artistic approach, but for those cookie cutter moms seek at hobby lobby that might look nice on the mantelpiece next to her holiday wreath and fake fruit. the wide range of imagery also anchors the text of capturing 'everything' literally. the age of digital is upon us, and larger amounts of memory are now available just in case we need those extra five thousand images of our family or vacation. this image makes me laugh a little because i consider it kind of cheesy, but that goes along with the images you have chosen. this makes me feel like the every day joe the plumber can handle one of these bad boys, whether he is a professional or not.gerg werkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18079472469101190191noreply@blogger.com
