My photos aren't the best either, but they're mine. The sensory recall from my own perspective is far more powerful than anything I get from professional photos of the same place because they cue memories of more than just the captured photons. They remind me of the weather that caused that light, those people, the food, that trip. It might be a crap documentary, but it's thoroughly mine. I'm not usually attracted to the places that attract a big crowd taking the same picture together, but when I do the worst thing I can say is that it feels a little silly.
