How many sunsets have how many seagulls seen. All now lost with those creatures lives.
In the history of the planet life has been recorded in layers of calcium hundreds of feet tall, in the oil we burn everyday, in fossilized bones, or trapped in amber, and in the DNA of living creatures now alive and the traditions we maintain.
Until carved in stone, or hollowed out ground, pigments on cave walls, then paintings and finally photography, what those creatures saw, what they chose to see, to remember has been lost to future generations of life on earth.
Digital photography has reduced the physical limits of this to insignificance. One million 5" x 7" photos laid flat and stacked would be over 80 stories tall. One million digital photos easily fit on a chip smaller than a dime.
If you can save every image you take, what would you learn about how you see the world, what do you choose to save.
