           SNAP AWAY!

   Just in case you didn't already

know, May is "National Photography

Month!" Everybody takes pictures

these days even if it's just an

occassiona "Selfie!" But photography

has come a long way! It really was

bore in the very early 1800's and

made a lot more practicle for a

lot more people in 1888 when George

Eastman came out with the Kodak

camera. In 1948 we saw the development

of the so-called "instant" Polaroid

camera which produced a printed

picture in just a minute. These days

we all have a camera in our pocket

with our smart phones. Ironically

we take a lot more pictures today

than ever before but print a lot fewer.

These days most photos are shared via

social media. I take so many I sometimes

forget what I've got stashed away. It's

good to review your collection from

time to time and, perhaps, print a

few photos that have special meaning

to you or others. But whether it's a

film camera (yes, they're still around),

or your smart phone, it's a good month

to "snap away!" Get the picture?

Hope your photos are in focus amd 

all your NEWS is good!
