How Many Snaps Do You Store?

CNet claims that the "average" American household has 994 digital photos, holding about 3 to 4 years worth of images. I don't believe this estimate, for many reasons. Here are just a few:

- Most people weren't regularly using digital cameras 3 or 4 years ago
- People shoot more images with digital cameras than they do with film-based ones
- The majority people don't edit ruthlessly, so they're storing dozens (if not hundreds) of blurry, similar, and/or unflattering snapshots

And anyone who's recently had a new baby in the family? You could shoot that number in less than a week!

Here's to being "above average"...
