The world's now a camera

 Taking a group portrait@Mosteiro dos Jerónimos

Due to the transforming facility of digital technology, we must take more photos and videos than ever before. During a visit this morning to the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos every couple, every group appeared to have at least one camera. Quite what we do with this avalanche of images is another matter. What proportion, I wonder, remain stored in cameras and on hard disks never to be seen?   

Have I got all of this in?
