Stop and think of all the photos you have that don't mean anything.  I don't
mean the old family photos but the ones you have taken with/of your family.
I think these are the photos, he was talking about.  Not the priceless ones
which may be just a bunch of people standing there but are priceless anyway.
The 3, 4, 5 generation pictures no matter how everyone looked are priceless
also.   

There are many photos which are almost duplicates of others except someone
moved or didn't smile.  Those are the ones which don't need to be saved.  With
the price and availablility of film, we have become click happy and take
far more
photos than our ancestors, even recent ones.
