...the fact that I have close to 150 photos in my camera that I haven't even looked at? Oy, it is going to feel like a chore when I do look at them -- because before I can post any on Flickr, I have to process them and convert them to JPEG.
On the other hand, I don't even remember what's on the memory card. My attention span is really short, ya know. So I could view at it as a treat to see what images are hidden in there.
What do you think? Chore or treat?
Treat!

It's like the old days when you find a roll of film stuffed into the back of a drawer...only now the cost to uncover the treasure isn't in processing and printing. I say...it's a treat because it's free!

treat. I found a roll of film @ my parent's house that was from a family christmas party in about 1980. it was like opening up a time capsule when I got it developed..

If you have plenty of time, treat. If not, CHORE.

Viewing a forgotton photo is somewhat like receiving a little present, don't you think? Like finding a forgotton five dollar bill in the pocket of the coat you haven't worn since last winter. Also, a photo is a memory, and since meories are all we ever have to take with us at the end of our final journey, that makes it a gift- both to ourselves as well as the future.

Now this is an example of exactly why we send you to school. Looks like a simple treat versus chore decision. But wait. This is a much heavier matter than that. First, you need a handsome qualified expert to help you. Second, since this is a weighty matter, I'd head for the bedroom and get off my feet. Might take a bottle of wine with me. If things worked out well, I might stretch this out to a multi-day event. Can't be too sure about these things you know. Quality control and all that. See, not quite the mutually exclusive and totally exhaustive possibilities, were they? What were those choices again?

OMG I can't imagine leaving ANY photos on my camera, much less 150! I have to download them immediately. I mean not only because I'm dying to see how they turned out, but because my card's not very big and I always worry that I'll run into something amazing and I don't want to have to delete things to be able to get those shots. wow. 150 photos you haven't seen yet. how do you do it??? lol

Just so long as they aren't THOSE photos... Damn wine... Damn Barry White music... Damn soccer team with the ultra inviting tour bus...

wow..I am glad to know someone was still able to develop photos from 1980... I have a couple rolls from 2001 that need to be unveiled.. Definately treat!

I haven't uploaded photos in months. I keep telling myself to do it, but then I find other stuff to do, like blog search.

chore. but its a labor of love once you actually find the time to process each one, and dump the bad ones.
