I'm a shy exhibitionist
Our endless visual village
Today we're all photographers. Almost everybody has a camera whether it is a smartphone or a digital one. We document everyday moments maniacally, capturing food, clothes, cats or sunsets. And rather than printing pictures to make an album, we upload them on Facebook, Flickr, Instagram to receive and post comments from friends and strangers. This overwhelming stimuli of images in the digital era is powerful and remarkable: Internet has democratized the voice of the people, making easier to tell our own stories and find other´s ones. But where will this constant flow of images bring us to?Nostalgia comes up when I think of the bazillion photographs that will be lost in the upcoming years.I look at family scrapbooks and the necessity of creating pictures, print them and put them in context increases.
