> "why you never take pictures of these special moments?" ... If I would have my eyes on the phone it wouldn't be special. 10 or 20 years later I still have rich memories of those times where it mattered and I guess not having a phone/camera with me at the time was big part that it actually became a great memory.
For me it is in the other direction. I do not avoid social media (think I am on most on them...) but interact sparingly (less than once a month). Still I am sometimes an obsessive photographer exactly because I know I have a terrible memory.
- prolepunk 8y agoHaving one or two pictures from a trip helps me to remember how I felt when I was on that trip, sort of a concrete reminder of a moment that I would otherwise forget. Taking picture however, takes me forever as I'm a bit obsessive about framing the shot and would check 3 or 4 different angels before I do it.
