These Pics Didn't Exist Before Digital Cameras

Back when Polaroids and disposable cameras were popular, we didn't have the luxury of deleting dozens of pictures to make space for more. We simply had to make 24 exposures or 10 squares of instant film last entire vacations and special occasions (or actually pay for more film).

Now with DSLRs, memory cards and smartphones, we can capture anything without a second thought. But does that ability come at a price of lousier photo subjects?

In this comic, Angela Liao of 20px reminds us that we couldn't take pics of our lunches or snapshots of our feet back in the day. Makes you kind of nostalgic, doesn't it?
