Backed up three years

Oh, the bygone days of the film camera...buy a massive 36-exposure roll of film, snap away, and if you want to see the pictures you MUST take them to get developed. The ease and simplicity is nostalgic and attractive.
Now, we all have our snooty, flashy digital cameras. We think we're soo professional and fancy. But what we are actually doing is creating more work for ourselves. Instead of the measly 3-step process associated with the film camera (put film in, take pictures, develop...gratification) we have created a 5+ step process by owning a digital camera (charge battery, load memory card, take pictures, load on to computer, photoshop the good ones optional, arrange in semi-coherent manner for storage, store, send pics to be developed - this adds the additional step of uploading your pics to their site). This is insanity! Maybe I only feel this way because I've just finished sorting through 3 years of pictures that were downloaded to our computer, never put in any reasonable order and never developed. Needless to say, I'm making shutterfly very happy this month with my over 300 picture order. After sorting, arranging and uploading over 1000 pictures spanning 3.25 years these are some of my favorites:
