Some of the most valued things in my life are the photos I’ve taken and printed as they remind me of where I was, what I was doing, and who I was with.

It’s one thing to miss a moment, like the author of this article did, because you’re fiddling with a camera but it’s also a thing to capture a moment and have it forever. How many times have you shown someone a photo and they say with amazement and excitement “No way! I’d almost forgotten got about that!” - many for me.

I've also found that sometimes, taking a photo of something prompts me to really look at it properly, in a way i wouldn't otherwise.
