Crumpled Photograph
A few years ago when the latest exciting photographic equipment was a disposable camera, the crumpled photograph was an important and often moving sight.
Usually a former partner or close friend who had decided to distance themselves from you, a photo of them would be held in your hand, screwed into a ball and flung at the floor. For many unknown reasons this balled and crumpled item would find its way into a draw or under a sofa only to emerge many months or even years later. The rediscovery of the photo would no doubt provoke much soul searching of the what if or if only variety, along with hopefully a few happy memories.
These days with digital cameras and the growth in popularity of the camera phone the possibility of uncovering such images can be quickly be avoided with use of the delete button.
I've added a new blog about a modern photographic phenomenon. Click here to see it.
