I bought a scanner for, what else, scanning all hardcopy images that I have collected over the years. Ever since I left college (which was 6 yrs + 5 months ago), I've wanted to organize my photos into a nice album. I only went halfway, because I found it too tiring.
Now, circa 2006, with all the advances in technology (which eventually led to prices of electronic stuff going down), I've decided to scan them instead and post it in my Multiply site.
Why? Because I want to share the photos. To everybody. Let the pictures be in the internet. One of these days, people that I've been with, new friends, old friends, lost friends, family, will see these pictures and remember that we've once been together, no matter how fleeting or ordinary. And then hopefully, they'll want to remember other friends they haven't seen or talked to in a while.
Then you get a warm feeling knowing that you've had friends, that you've lost them, that you can get in touch again.
