Part of my job is what I think of as documenting people. I count who comes and goes, mark birthdays and anniversaries, interview new employees and take their photo, take care of a beautiful employee photo wall (and the photos are awesome black and white portraits, full of movement and personality, not like stiff yearbook photos) where people come and people go. Our staff members get to visit farms all the time, and I can't always go, so I'm always trying to collect the photos people take on their farm tours for our newsletter, website and just archives in general.
The funny thing about people and their digital cameras is that a lot of people have one and don't know how to work it.
People often hand me their cameras, happy to share their mushroom or strawberry farm photos, or whatever, just the camera, without any way for me to get the photos out. "Do you have the connector cord?" might as well be printed on my tee shirt for how often I say it! We're really at square one... never mind the fact that our IT director (and my good friend) wants us to put the photos on a flash drive instead of e-mailing them and clogging up the servers... anyhow, I get a lot of cameras that not only have the mushroom and strawberry photos, but also the sister in law's third cousin's wedding photos, or random photos of a couch for sale, and, most recently, My Trip to the Hawaiian Islands. For this, my co-worker deserves to be posted on my blog in her modest black bathing-suited, sun-baked glory. I protect her identity with a discreet black bar... heh heh...
Now, if anyone ever gives me their digital camera with their homemade amateur porn pics, beaver shots, husband's limp pink member, etc., they are fair game. Blackmail!

does anyone think porn is the only business still thriving during the credit cruch? I think many folks seek refuge in buying and wanking porn during the crunch
