Taking some pictures is great. Having some pics to look at a vacation years down the line is good for refreshing memories and emotions and to relive those moments. But that's achievable with a few pictures a day, whereas many people now take hundreds or more and never even look at them again. It's like hoarding behavior or bookmarking web pages or buying books you never end up opening.
- prmoustache 4y agoMy experience is that taking pictures is only worth it if you print them quickly and put them in an album with comments. I and my daughters will very often grab a photo album randomly in the living room and enjoy remembering those moments. The digital albums? They only serve as a backup thanksfully synched remotely in case my house burn. Normal non pro photographs human beings have very little energy to organize/tag/process their pictures, they mostly lie forgotten until google photos remember them of those moments, more often than not showcasing the ugiest badly framed photos.
- jstarfish 4y agoThere are two types of hoarders though-- those who take 1000 pictures of things they find interesting, and those who take 1000 pictures of things they think everyone else will find interesting. The former is a good way to relive any experience. It's literally training data for the photographer to reconstruct their own memories. The latter group will never have reason to look at the pictures they took. There is a lack of connection.
