The Joys of a Camera Phone

As I was downloading photos tonight, I finally downloaded all of the photos that I have taken on my phone since purchasing it. Turns out, I got the phone shortly before my son was born and so all of the photos I have taken with it start from his birth and go through today. A year's worth of photos there that I have somewhat forgotten about. I knew they were there but did I ever really go back and look at them. Not really. They were there just to make sure I captured the moment and, boy, am I glad I did. With my phone I captured photos of life's everyday moments that we forget. How often is it that we carry our camera with us? Usually for those special occasions that something is going on but all the other days just pass on by. Thank God for technology. Now we have the ability to take photos whenever the heck we want.

This camera on my phone has served many purposes. I have pictures of my daughter and my son. Weird self photos (who doesn't take those?). Photos that I took of items to remind me of some of the things I wanted to buy for Christmas gifts. Photos of the sunset on my drive home. And then some photos on there that I don't know what I was even taking a picture of but that is what the delete button is for. The main purpose though, making sure I got a picture of the moment I was in. What I am really excited about is that I have pictures of my son in each month of his first year of life on my camera phone. Had I just relied on my camera, there is no way I would have been able to do this. Again, thank God for technology.

So right now, I am taking this moment to appreciate my cell phone for all that it is worth. Yes, there are sometimes that I wish I didn't have it but most of the time I love it and, right now, I love that there is a camera on it. Why don't you take this moment to appreciate your phone and go ahead and take that picture! Don't let the moment pass you by! That's what the camera is there for!


Oh! And here is a sample of what I found:
