Digital

"No Film. Only Digital Printing."

Such is the reminder of a photo printing store to its customers.

Indeed this is an era where connections are made instantly. With just a click, each like, comment, favorite, reply, retweet, and what have you, connects you right away to someone else. Such is the digital world.

How, then, do these digital connections translate to real life?


"Pictures taken from a film camera cannot be seen right away. They have to be developed first. And before it's done, the pictures are already in our memory. They become the more recognisable features of the developed pictures. By then film picture cannot be erased from our lives." - Mhog (Hormones) (paraphrased)

I hope my online connections go deeper and spill over to real life and leave marks that will last a lifetime.
