too many photos, too few memories

if you understand what i say, probably we are on the same page for this matter. i disagree for a fact that we have to take photos all the time during gathering. my view on this is if we spend time taking photo, it is time wasted bonding with each other. plus what difference does it make? erm. i have no idea. to show that we gather? to show those who are absent how much they have missed? in short, it gives me the feeling that we are having a good time and others are not.

i like it better if we take time chit chat with everyone. don't waste time taking photos. okay la, i shouldn't be so critical. maybe one photo might be good. it gives me the energy boost that i am living a sociable life once in awhile.

this article sums up pretty much what i have in mind all this while. we are here to live the moment, not to take picture. there is no point going back if we have already lived the present as it is.

blogger is thinking he should just limit himself to one photo per gathering. oh wait, usually he doesn't hold the camera hence he doesn't mind. vanity sometimes prevails over sanity.
