Reply #57: Oh, and I didn't even realize that digital images could be a problem, but

now that I think of it, I have a stepdaughter who loves taking photos. The biggest problem is that she stores them all on her computer.

All 7000+ images.

Which in itself is a problem, but what's frustrating to the family (and anyone else she shows her albums to) is that she will take the same photos over and over again and instead of picking out 15 or 20 good ones, she will post albums containing hundreds and hundreds of photos. Most of them are the same scene taken from a slightly different angle.

And a LOT of them are of the hold-the-camera-in-front-of-the-smiling-couple's-faces variety, over and over, just in different spots. We've joked among ourselves that over the years we can just take one from each year and put them all together in one of those "flip the page" books and see them progressively age.

Anyway, how do you tell someone you don't want to see 45 of the same damned picture without hurting their feelings?
