Bursting At The Seams

Bursting at the seams, my tattered old photo albums are. So many pictures of so many people from so long ago - with so little square footage to contain them all. Nobody warned me about that side of the double edged coin when I was snapping pix hither dither and yon in the 70s.

Oh sure - you can think you're being far sighted and 'heritage aware' while snapping all them thar vintage moments from years gone by, but have you actually stopped to wonder what happens when your mountain of so called priceless memories starts eating you out of house and home and demanding the TV remote? What then Einstein?

All I'm saying is, there's always a downside. Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. If I'd known 40 years ago that taking pictures of the old gang in the old neighborhood in the good old days would end up filling enough photo albums to reach the moon, there might have been a better sense of quality control administered and certainly a 'less is more' mind set prevailing at the point of purchase/snapping.

One way I can lighten the load on my overburdened shelving units, is to raid some of these overstuffed photo albums and pull from their time encrusted resting spots the pictures that seem most in need of a once-a-decade airing. So that they may then be plopped down into the first video blog showcase that comes along.
