For at least six years I almost obsessively photographed much of the going-ons of a once-a-week course I taught. These photographs, edited or cropped to present the "relevant" details, were posted to Picasaweb albums that were attached to gmail accounts of those courses - accounts for which only I had the passwords. At some point during these courses my students, all adult academics, would ask what I was doing with these photographs. I would explain that I have a "thing" for documentation, and I wanted to keep a record of what we'd done - not only for me, but for them as well. After that question would be asked (and only after it was asked) I would give them the URLs to the photo sets that contained between ten to fifteen photographs of each weekly meeting. Although almost all of my students expressed an interest in viewing the photographs, I think I can accurately write that those photo sets have been viewed less than a handful of times by each of the groups for which there's a set. I'm not sure that this shows that the process is more important than the product, but I definitely think that it suggests that. And in more general terms it also suggests that a substantial portion of the billions of photographs that have been posted to various online sites are quickly forgotten - if they get viewed at all.
