Sightseeing Photos

Hold on folks- I had a brilliant thought and I'm about to share it with you. By the way, if someone has already thought of it, don't tell me that. I'm basking in my brilliantness right now and it feels pretty good.

Anywho, when we were in NYC and the hubs and about 15,000 other people were all shooting a bazillion pics of various landmarks with their pocket-sized P&S cameras, I got to thinkin'.

First, you should know that I am all about time management. I rarely waste my time doing something that someone else has already done or can do for me quicker, easier, and better than I can do it. I figured that out PDQ once I was a working mom of two crazy kids.

So here was the thought I had as I watched this picture being taken:

And this one....


And this one...



Why are we all taking pictures of the same thing?
Seriously.

Here's what I'd like to propose.

You know how all those postcard shots are fabulous? Let's create a website where you can download these pics and add them to your flikr, snapfish, shutterfly, whatever... and you can add them to your album to go along with pics like this:



Cause every sightseeing album needs some personal shots. But for the landmark photos, let's not continue to waste time. There's lots of more productive things we could be doing.

Like drinking beer.

I agree. Who wants the postcard pics...dumb!

I prefer people pictures. Once, on a work trip to Ft. Lauderdale I decided that it would be fun to photo bomb people and ask them if I could get in their picture or I would randomly jump in from behind.

That's good times right there.

That's the longest I've ever seen your hair.

Brooke said...

Good times! I heart NY! I have that same exact picture of my husband by the playboy sign. Men.
