Why, I remember every f/stop, focal length and shutter setting! But seriously, I travel mostly to take photos. > “The main benefit of using a camera is the ability to go back and look at the photos you take, and you will often see things in the photo that would otherwise have been lost to time, which is something that our experiments don’t take into account.” said Lurie. “If you aren’t going to be looking back at your photos, then try to be more in the moment and simply experience the event without photographing it. Bingo. A photo captures (nearly) infinite detail that the eye and brain miss entirely. A serious photo is an interaction between photographer and subject, and in my opinion expresses that interaction. So, when I see selfies and giggly group photos in Yosemite or other spectacular places, I don't scoff. That's the photographers expression of the experience. Does anyone just take photos and never review them? I looked over some old photos from the 50's of family and elders I don't even recall, but, crappy as they are, overexposed and taken with Brownie Reflex cameras. They WERE reviewed, albeit with little or no personal recollection or context.
