I grew up in a household where unlike many others in the neighborhood, had digital point and shoots. Instead, my late and technologically inept mother kept disposable cameras close to her heart. My college graduation in 2009, my high school graduation in 2005, my birthdays--they were all caught on film that's now sadly gone due to destruction.

But you see, I was the outlier. In college, I took a photojournalism course that required me to purchase a camera. My mother, always a stickler because she had to spend some sort of money, listened to the rep who made me absolutely groan at Best Buy and got an HP point and shoot. That point and shoot was "The family's" even though I was responsible for it. This is the camera that I used after moving up from, well, one of those old Razr flip phones. Do you remember those?. thephoblographer.com
