Like many people, Jason Alford is rarely seen without his digital camera in hand.
“You just never know when you’re going to need it,” said Alford, a graphic designer from Atlanta, Georgia. “The technology has really made taking pictures easier and more convenient than ever.”
Alford uses the HP Photosmart M437 - an inexpensive digital camera he said is ideal for his casual, everyday use. Running as little as $75, the price tag on these devices has decreased while their popularity has increased, making the informal practice of digital photography commonplace in today’s society. Besides their affordability and high-quality imaging, digital cameras require no film purchase, and users always have the option of deleting “unflattering” snapshots - just some of the attributes that have added to the appeal of this technology.

But he found Rolling Stones and Beatles albums in his grandparents’ attic, and an uncle went on ebay to get him a player, which is front-and-center in his room.
