God invented digital
photography so that we could delete crappy photos before they saw the light of
day. It was a glorious gift. Stop fucking it up. If you wouldn't pay the pennies to
develop/print a photo then spare us all and don't put it on the internet
either. Edit. Your.
Photos.
I'm not saying you
need to break out fancy photo editing software to adjust color balances and
touch up wrinkles. The only thing I'm
asking you to use is the delete button.
Just look at your photo and decide whether another human would ever care
to look at it. Does it fail to capture a
moment or image that's even slightly interesting? Are you the only conceivable target
audience? If so, don't upload it.
Do you not have the
time to look at each photo and make that kind of decision for each one? Stop.
Bulk camera uploading kill kittens.
If you don't have the time to review your photos then we don't have the
time to look at them.
Is this a photo of a
person? Look at it. Is it flattering? If it was a photo of you, would you want it
on the internet for everyone to see?
Would it be how you would want to be portrayed? To your mom?
To your boss? To prospective love
interests? If the answer to any of these
is no then stop. Do the person a favor
and delete the photo. Or at the very
least ask them first before you blast it onto the internet for all to see.
Seriously, I don't
know what is wrong with you people. Not
every captured image is sacred. I'm not
even going to berate you for spending more time capturing your shitty photos than
enjoying what you're taking a photo of.
I just want you to please exercise some fucking decency and stop the
digital diarrhea spewing out of your camera.
