This article was kind of ridiculous. Steve Garlick, the author of the article did nothing but present research that was outdated; we wrote this in 2002, but everything he researched was from 1996 and previous. There was none of his own input throughout the article and the research that he did present was not that great to begin with.
On another note, the reason that I have been taking pictures throughout this trip is mainly for the fact that I want to document and remember my experience and the sights that I see. I want to be able to share this trip with my family and friends, along with my children later in life. I have also been taking some pictures to help acquaint myself with my camera and get use to taking different types of shots and angles. Usually while traveling, epically on this trip, I tend to focus on the beauty in the places I go and the fun times I have. These are slightly different from the pictures that I tend to take while at school or home. When I'm there I really don't see a point in capturing the sights of places for the mere fact that I live there and will be able to see it at any time that I want. Of course though, while at school and home I still try to capture every fun and exciting moment that I have with my friends and family, epically during special events.
Usually after I've taken a picture I can tend to be a bit selfish about them. I keep them all saved in a safe place on my computer, but then I take the ones that I think I look good enough in and post them on FaceBook along with the ones that I have of other people. But when it comes to MySpace, I only put the pictures that I appear in on my page. the reason for posting them on these sights is for the simple fact that I want to be able to share them with my friends, to let them know what I am doing with my life, and they also do the same.
What specifically did you find ridiculous about the article? I know it bordered on the absurd, but what assertions bothered you?
