Response to People forum, please don't die!

Thanks Tony. It's been interesting to be in a situation where I really want to take a photos, while knowing that there will be no second chances. There are any number of babies in the world, but these two will be five minutes old but once.

I don't like rankings per se - it's the process of constructing them that I find interesting, not the final result - but my own photography is usually aimed at documenting my life and the things I find interesting, and it is hard to think of events with a similar significance.

I have a photographic memory, and have always thought of images seperately from their physical representation, so the abstraction of the online world already seems natural to me. Also, the ease with which I can use my website to distribute a whole photo album to literally hundreds of friends and family around the world is a massive practical advance. But, and I think it is a but which applies generally, the physical presentation of a real print still adds something extra, just as live performances are more than recordings.
