The pocket size cameras seem to be a thing of the past as unprofessional photographers are able to afford and operate the newest versions of SLR cameras. As I take my tiny digital out of my pocket, I am filled with envy of those carrying their fantastic SLR cameras, getting great shots at a pressof a button. None of that lens twisting and knowledge of apertures and lighting. Just point and shoot!
I have noticed that over the last 30 years we have seen hand held technological gadgets go from being quite bulkly and large to minute and now back to large again.
My real comparisons are the mobile phones and cameras. The 80’s saw people carrying big brick phones and relatively large cameras. The following two decades saw these two gadgets become smaller and smaller so that they could fit in a person’s pocket. Now they are getting larger again as is my handbag! Oh and my sunglasses don’t just cover my eyes but half my face (which I quite like though)!
I quite liked the dinky and dainty. Everything was discreet and very portable. Now it is so large. So it does beg the question “how big is your ….?
Mine are getting larger and larger!
