Pretty Pink Cameras
What is it with girls and taking pictures? At my Senior Formal the other night it seemed like every girl had a cute, compact digital camera - most of them canon and many of them pink. In contrast I didn’t see a single guy with a camera.
This seems to be more or less representative of a general trend where young women tirelessly document their social lives - from randomly trying on outfits to sleepover antics to conspicuously posed party pics.
I have some musings on this phenomenon, particularly as it relates to Facebook as a sharing medium, but could really use some help getting my head around it. What’s up with the gender dynamic around digital photography?
