Since it's so easy to take and send photos, you may find yourself wanting to show them off. Especially if it's a happy memory.
Not every photo is a good one to share. Some pictures reveal more than you expect or affect other people too.
Photos can reveal a lot of information
A face, a uniform, the view from home, belongings, or clues about location can all appear in a single photo. Pictures often contain more information than they seem to at first.
Before you post or send a photo, it helps to ask what it shows besides the main subject. A short pause now can prevent trouble later.
Think about how the photo might feel later
Before you send it, it's important to think about whether it's okay to spread it around. If you're at all worried, it's safer not to take it out.
Judgment that you don't show is also the strength to protect yourself.
Before sending a photo, check whether it includes anything you would rather keep private.
At Digital Kodomo BASE, we value the ability to think about how to present things in order to preserve happy memories. Photos are also information.
