Thing # 9: Super Time Waster - Photo Editing

Oh no, I've been introduced to another time waster.  I needed another one of those like I need a hole in my head.  

Thing number nine is all about photo taking and editing apps.  I've never been much of a photo taker.  Before the advent of the "better camera on your phone than your point and shoot" I would always forget to  bring my digital camera along on outings or it would stay in my purse.  I allowed other people to be the photographers.  Since I bought my iphone in December, I have taken a few more photos, but my photo library pales in comparison to most other people's.  

I've played around with photo editing with the software including in the iPhone as well as Instagram.  I've changed the setting or cropped, but that's really the extent of my photo tweaking.  I downloaded Photo Editor and played around with a couple photos.  It's a fun little thing, but not something I see myself using very much.  I was able to put a bowtie and pipe sticker on a photo of my cat, which is cute, and I might share with my sisters, but I feel a little old to be playing around with stickers and backgrounds - and I don't take selfies.  Hah!  

I know that my students will be taking selfies and playing around with photo editing.  I suppose I could use it in some capacity in my library, but I think I'll leave the photo editing to the kids.
