After three days in Rome, an interesting thought occurred to me.  I’m suspicious that within these tourist areas, I am actually in more photographs than I myself am taking.  It bothers me that perhaps I may be represented more often than I am representing. 

It is almost impossible to avoid being in a photograph at a tourist site, cameras seem to be pointed in every direction and the sound of electronic blips can be heard from every direction.  I can’t help but wonder just how many more photographs people are taking with their digital cameras then they used to take with their film cameras.  I wonder how many rolls of film it would take to contain that many pictures, and know that no one would bother if they had to carry all of those rolls with them for the rest of the trip. 

It makes me think about the value of the photograph and how it may have changed so quickly.
