摄影一直是一种非常成功的消费技术。从胶片到数字的转变增加了摄影师、观众和拍摄对象的摄影活动和热情。在这篇文章中，我从经验和理论上解决了普通日常摄影的实际操作，因为它已经从胶片转移到数字。我描述了几年来我自己的实证工作的结果，这些工作涉及电影和数字摄影技术，包括照相手机和在线图像共享。数字图像相关技术的当前发展正在改变个人摄影图像的公开性、临时性和数量。我将个人摄影描述为，实际上，多种重叠的技术：记忆;关系;自我表现;和自我表达，所有这些都在数字环境中发生变化。我借鉴科学和技术研究（STS）的帮助，了解摄影作为一个正在进行的实践组装和性能，并在摄影技术的变化作为一个机会，看到技术的决策-活动，人们正在复制sociomaterial关系。在这种观点中，照片具有代理权，因为它们在空间和时间上“接力”。随着数字技术的发展，我们看到了我们称之为个人摄影的物体、实践和意义的组合发生了变化，其中一些可能比另一些更受欢迎。特别是，个人照片可能变得更加公开和短暂，而不是私人和持久的，更有效的交流对象比记忆。
Photography has been a wildly successful consumer technology. The shift from film to digital has, if anything, increased both photographic activity and enthusiasm on the part of photographers, viewers and subjects. In this article, I address empirically and theoretically the practical doing of ordinary, daily photography as it has moved from film to digital. I describe findings from my own empirical work over several years with a wide range of people engaged in both film and digital photographic technologies, including camera-phones and online image-sharing. Current developments in digital image-related technologies are changing the publicness, temporality and volume of personal photographic images. I describe personal photography as, in effect, multiple, overlapping technologies: of memory; relationships; self-representation; and self expression, all of which are changing in the digital environment. I draw on science and technology studies (STS) for help in understanding photography as an on-going practice of assemblage and performance, and the changes in photographic technologies as an opportunity to see technology-in-the-making – the activities by which people are reproducing sociomaterial relations. In this view, photographs have agency as they ‘take the relay’ across space and time. With digital technology we see shifts in the assemblages of objects, practices and meanings that we call personal photography, some of which may be more welcome than others. In particular, personal photographs may be becoming more public and transitory, less private and durable and more effective as objects of communication than of memory.
