What do you think about the practice of taking photos and keeping souvenirs? Is it a good idea, considering the need to manage, sort, and maintain them, and the fact that they often evoke feelings of nostalgia and melancholia. Should we stop taking photos at all? How do you manage this side of your life?
haha I’m the exact opposite of you. I only take pictures of things and situations that are truly meaninfful to me. I often do photos to capture an idea but I delete them after I used them somehow. I’m more the remembering guy and I rarely have the feeling of lossing something or the pressure to capture everything. I just let everything sink in and the memories will come up in the best moments on their own. Those memories may not be sharp like looking at a photo but the fuzziness makes you concentrate on the feelings which no camera will ever capture.
