Paper Photos

Photos are there to make a moment immortal. Digital photos do that. Drag a second out to an eternity. Turn it into something etheral. Kundera would say meaningless.

Printed pictures are different. They grab the moment, then they age, wither and tear. They get damp. They get lost. You bond with the dream and the paper it's printed on.

Which has more value, I have not yet decided. The impermanence has a certain romanticism to it though.
