No More Snapshots

I'm a crummy photographer and have never taken much pleasure in travel snapshots.  For a while digital photography helped because it was novel and relieved me of the whole film development hassle, and for a while after that the kids took pictures, but by now the entire family is pretty much hopeless.  It's too bad, because most of our pictures of our kids are from when they were seven, but ifor documenting travel, who needs it?  It has been foggy pretty much non-stop since we got here, but it really settled in today, thick low clouds a hundred feet overhead.  The Eiffel Tower is completely socked in, it looks like one of those old pictures you see from when it was half finished.  When I walked back from across the river today, I kept trying to orient by finding the tower but I couldn't find it, and eventually realized it was lost in the fog.  The view out our window is weird, as though the tower had just been erased-- the church tower is right where it always is on the left, and then nothing but white sky on the right.  So it would be nice to take a picture, but what the hell?  Just Google Eiffel Tower Fog and you get....

That just about covers it.  The only pictures worth taking, unless you feel like you can actually express yuurself with a camera, are the pictures with people in them.  The old-fashioned, and here is the Notre Dame Cathedral shot, the one that proves you were there, is pointless today.
