Bill Linnane: I've taken thousands of imperfect photos this year, but they're our family's greatest hits of 2025
"My parenting is much like my photography - around 30pc of the time it works out OK Around 20 years ago, I bought my first digital camera. I was never that interested in photography but with my first child only being a toddler, I thought I would get on board with the best technology money could buy to capture all the special moments that life was about to offer me."
"I was never that interested in photography but with my first child only being a toddler, I thought I would get on board with the best technology money could buy to capture all the special moments that life was about to offer me. Sadly, the best quality photographic technology that my money could buy at the time offered me image quality equivalent to that of an Etch A Sketch."
Parenting is compared to amateur photography with success occurring roughly thirty percent of the time. A digital camera purchase about twenty years ago was motivated by a desire to capture toddler milestones. The initial lack of personal interest in photography did not prevent the purchase of top-priced consumer technology. The machine failed to deliver clear results, producing images likened to an Etch A Sketch. The early 2000s presented a trade-off between very expensive or very poor digital cameras. The buyer ended up with poor equipment despite spending what felt like the best available money could buy.
