@kindalarge: my mom was a shutter bug. She had an old Brownie Box camera which could only take pictures outside, and then when I was about 10 years old, she got a Brownie Hawkeye with flash. Then no one was safe. She started getting candid shots of us, leaving us blinded for several minutes.
When I grew up, got married and had kids, I never could afford to buy film or get pictures developed, so I didn't get the bug until digital came around. But my kids are all camera crazy, and so are my grandkids. My one granddaughter has thousands of pictures of her kids, pets, decor, friends, beaches, nature trails, you name it she's got it.
