Same reason you had pictures taken of yourself upon graduation.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Jan 1 '10, 20:31

very big milestone in life. A tangible memory of the moment isn't out of line; nor self-indulgent.

Responses:

There's a difference between a few photos of a milestone for announcement and an 100-photo album. -- nm - Hotkiss me at midnight Jan 1, 20:35 20
- Yeah, qty. Anyone putting an album up like that is guilty of having too much time, but it's not a big deal. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 1, 20:41 7
  - Except that it probably takes less time to dump the whole set than to go through and pick your dozen favorites. -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 20:54 5
    - *shrug* I meant just the siting and taking 100 pictures. - Will Hunting Jan 1, 21:04 4
      - You make an appointment for a photographer to take pictures for 30 minutes, I bet they end up with 100 shots. Easy. -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 21:06 3
        
        I've uploaded many pics on FB. you don't just "dump" them. it takes a long time. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 21:08 2
        
        you check them off and hit upload. is it faster to check them all or to go through and check only certain ones you like? - TFox Jan 1, 21:10 1
        
        I would have uploaded 100 p hotos of mexico if it weren't such a pain in the ass. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 21:11
  - If one of my friends did that ... at age 40... I would laugh at them longtime. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:43
- 100 for reals? That's out of control. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:40 5
  - I don't really see it that way. They hire a photographer to take pictures. Photographer gives them 100 prints on a cd. - TFox Jan 1, 20:44 4
    - and you don't have to publish them ALL. have some control. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:45 3
      - I thought you said there were more than that! -- nm - Mom five minutes later Jan 1, 20:45 2
        
        mom can get a copy of the CD. no one else gives a flying fuck. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:46 1
        
        such bitter hostility. -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 20:47
- i suspect that most of their close friends and family want to see all 100 that the photographer took. - TFox Jan 1, 20:37 5
  - even for my best friend on Erf, no. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:44
  - A photographer for an engagement? - con_carne Jan 1, 20:44 3
    - In the many albums I've seen, they've gotten a photographer. - Hotkiss me at midnight Jan 1, 20:47
    - not uncommon. but you publish ONE shot. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:46
    - Many photographers offer package deals ... engagement+wedding photos -- nm - Beryllium Jan 1, 20:46
