I'll always remember this really sad story I read somewhere. An old couple had rented early video-recording equipment for a trip to the grand canyon. They took videos of the canyon, and some of the videos included brief accidental glimpses of their young kids in the periphery. Decades later, those glimpses are priceless and precious to the old couple, whereas the videos of the canyon are worthless. "Why did we aim the camera at those stupid cliffs?! Our kids were right there! If only this shot was one more inch to the left..."
- checkyoursudo 7y agoFor this reason, I almost always ask my wife or kids, if they are with me, to get into the frame if I am photographing nature or a building or something. Maybe not every time, but most of the time. I figure that some day I will enjoy looking at them more than whatever other thing it was that I was taking a picture of at the time.
