At least that’s how it seems when going through KeggersOfYore.com, which features party pictures from back in the day.
Site creator, “Grady,” says he’s found pictures of people raging back in the ’70s and ’80s that make him wish he could’ve been there.
He believes digital photography has, in a way, ruined party pictures because there isn’t that “delayed gratification” or surprise of seeing how a candid shot turns out.
Also, the fact that 250 pictures from one night can be seen within hours of taking them via social networking sites makes them less special.
However, Grady says that as long as there are white people raging, there will be good party photos.
He says, “People ask me why there’s only white people on the site. I think white people are more apt to be ridiculous in front of a camera.”
