I have friends who get upset that i don't take enough photos while hiking, camping or paddling. I always tell them they are welcome to come and experience it themselves instead.
One of the most amazing experiences as an adult is going back through pictures of people doing things. My friends, my family. I sit with my wife and kids and we tell stories to them about our youth, they ask questions about them. The most amazing experience is showing them those pictures and seeing their amazement that their old parents were once young men and women.
There is nothing wrong with not posting those for other people, but pictures of people have a way helping you visceraly remember the emotions of that event.
You're not wrong at all, that's just a different perspective on pictures.
I'm with you, but I think there's a happy medium. Like, I don't need to take pictures of the food I get at a restaurant or a selfie at every single place I go. But I've always enjoyed looking back at pictures of people I know or am related to living their lives. I'm older and my parents are both dead. They took a lot of pictures on slides, and I recently scanned them - about 1000 pictures - to jpg. So many wonderful pictures, some I've never seen.
But even then, my mom took a bunch of pictures of trees from the car window while they were on a driving trip. Completely unremarkable.
I’m so glad that several years ago (my mid 20s) I got into the habit of taking selfies sometimes. I’m never going to be that young again, and when I want to see what I looked like young it’ll be too late to go take a quick pic.
It's funny, I've always looked taking pictures, and I'm old enough to have started well before digital. I love looking at the old pics, but since I took most of them, I'm not in very many. Kids are grown, I'm almost retired, and I think the family only recently realized there aren't many pics of me.
I completely get that. I really enjoy when one of my friends who enjoys photography comes along. She is great and catching people in the moment when they don't even know she's watching. She captures some of the most genuine and beautiful pictures of her friends.
I'm not as good at capturing those moments in pictures, especially if I'm alone. My strengths are getting people to beautiful places and leading the adventure to those moments.
I consistently don't take enough photos when I go to cool places, and then I feel bad because its hard to describe just how cool the place was to my friends or family
My last couple cross-country road trips with my son had very few pictures. The stuff that happened without photos were where we had too much fun to care about doing photos. Most of the photos were special landmark pictures we took so his mom wouldn't get mad.
