Carolin Kebekus Says Digital Photo Glut Derailed Plans for Baby’s First-Year Album

She tells dpa she stopped after discovering over 200 images from the birth alone.

Overview

  • Kebekus said the volume of smartphone photos has made organizing a physical album unworkable.
  • She had planned a first-year album for her child’s first birthday but abandoned it at the outset.
  • She contrasted today’s near-limitless shooting with her childhood’s 24- or 36-exposure film rolls.
  • The comments were given in a Deutsche Presse-Agentur interview in Cologne published on Nov. 16.
  • She ties the experience to her new book, “8000 Arten, als Mutter zu versagen,” which the reports note.
