    facebook profile pictures

    Does anyone else marvel at the creativity of most facebook users in their profile pics? I guess when I set up my account there I sort of expected a bunch of ugly, against-the-wall mug shots, but the shots these kids are getting really blow me away with their creativity and quality.

    Do you think people are becoming better photographers these days, or are we just getting exposed to more people's personal photographs than ever before, and people were always this creative?

    I think it's easier to be creative. With digital cameras, people tend to shoot more, because "it can always be deleted". And the price has come down, so younger and younger people have access to them. When I was 10, the camera was this expensive do not touch thing. Now, my 8 and 10 year olds use a digital Elph.

    Plus, with the net, people put this stuff out for everyone to see, instead of just friends and family looking at prints at your house.

    btw...where'd you take that av? looks familiar.
