本文论证了在分析助记技术时，始终需要考虑相对于连续性的变化和针对变化的连续性。它通过探索从模拟摄影到数字摄影过程中发生的事情来做到这一点，特别是看看这如何影响了个人照片的意义以及与之相关的记忆实践。与技术决定论观点在新媒体上的写作中表现得多么隐蔽不同，将白话摄影作为一种具体的助记实践来探索的价值在于，它将我们的注意力转向摄影实践与更长期的社会用途和文化价值相联系的方式。我们的分析集中于与模拟/数字转变有关的四个关键摄影实践类别的变化：拍照、存储照片、观看照片、分享照片--所有这些都对将摄影作为助记资源的使用产生了影响。随着数字技术的出现，它们都在不同程度上发生了变化，但人们不断地对新旧进行比较评估，将前者作为学习如何使用新技术的关键方面。
This article demonstrates the need always to consider change against continuity and continuity against change in the analysis of mnemonic technologies. It does so by exploring what has happened in the move from analogue to digital photography, looking, in particular, at how this has affected the meanings of personal photographs and the practices of remembering associated with them. In contrast with technologically determinist perspectives which have been, however latently, manifest in writing on new media, the value of exploring vernacular photography as a specifically mnemonic practice is that it turns our attention to the ways in which photographic practices are bound up with longer term social uses and cultural values. Our analysis focuses on changes in four key categories of photographic practice that relate to the analogue/digital shift: photo-taking, photo-storing, photo-viewing, photo-sharing – all of which have consequences for the uses of photography as a mnemonic resource. They have all been altered in varying degrees by the advent of digital technologies, but with people continually making comparative evaluations of old and new, drawing on the former as a key aspect of learning how to use the latter.
