Five.
I take a lot of photos of my family. Did you know that? I’m sure you didn’t know that. I mean, it’s not like I post pictures every day of something mundane my family is doing. Or is it like I do that? Wait. I do that, don’t I? Well, whether you are aware or not, I take a LOT of pictures. I currently have over 14,000 photos on my flickr account right now.
