Poll: how many pictures have you taken so far in your lifetime?
I'd like to know how many pictures you have taken since 2000 (since the start of the "digital revolution") and how many before. Although this century is only 6 years old, I suspect that the amount of "pictures taken" has been exploding since the millennium, not only in digital, but also in analog form.
(More than one option allowed in this poll.)

previous - 10,000+ analog
current - roughly 2500 analog, and 5k digi (event shoots really burn through the hd space).
All total, I have about 30,000 exposures laying around.

When you've been an avid photographer for more than 60 years, it can really add up. Do I count my 8mm movie frames?  |

I have about 500 35mm films on file, about 15000 images, and at least another 5000 must have been lost along the way, plus a few hundred medium format.
Digital images: about 40K so far, mostly preserved on CDs / DVDs, which I plan to re-record periodically.

Not enough, by far.
But for two years as a Peace Corps volunteer, I took a lot of photos! Those were the days.

I figure 36 shots per roll, and from there, i should be above 1000 but below 10000...

Last century I had about 8k slides alone. I am not even sure about b/w, but lots. Up until a couple of years ago, most of what little I did was film, but now mostly digital, and mostly of my grandson. Other family thrown in.

Over 20,000 with the D70 alone in the last 2 years...with many thousands on film as well...so many in fact that I've just bought a bulk loader and will be rolling my own to try and save money...
Last century...? Well I'm 42 and been shooting for years...I figure I could have bought another house for the money spent on photography...

My binders hold about 100 sheets of 35 frames - so I just need to count binders to get a general idea.
The digital I can do a general file count to get some idea.
The fun part was figuring out how many 4x5's I had in my cardboxes (approx 2500) |

Film: I have a rather thick binder of single cut 645 frames...maybe a couple hundred pages of 16 each. Lots. They were cut from rolls (I look through the roll and choose the ones I want to keep, then cut the rest off). That makes for an enormous number of 120 rolls shot. At least enormous by my consideration. I don't shoot 400 rolls a week like some pros out there.
Digital: doesn't really count. I took a few thousand shots with my D70. Maybe 10000 overall. I care about them only as they are snapshots of family and friends.

I have owned my Nikon D50 about a year now, and my shutter count is just under 30,000

One, Ten, many. Yes, I too could have bought a holiday house up the coast , on a headland or tucked away behind the dunes somewhere. Anyone want a truck load of film cameras? Seriously it would be thousands. When I was shotting weddings,it was common to shoot 5 rolls of 220 plus 6/7 rolls 36/135, so 15years of that plus 33years of my own work, Lots!!!

I can give a better guess of analog than digital!
pre 2000:
analogue: about 3 rolls of 127 and 5 of 35mm
digital: 0
post 2000:
analogue: about 30 rolls of 35mm since 2004
digital: i dunno, 15000? based on 3 diferent digicams since 2000.
I still have my Kodak Brownie 127, in perfect working order (of course it was so simple there's nothing to go wrong - just 1 shutter speed.
