That was a very nice piece.

But...

    Every photo you take is an editorial decision about a given moment of reality.

That is why I hate taking photos. I have to force myself to do it when we travel, and I am always trying to balance a desire to have some visual record, with the desire to just forget about pictures and enjoy the moment.

I'm going to die, and my memories will pass on. It might be nice for my ancestors to have a few images, but those moments will really only exist for me and the people I shared them with.

Maybe I want a little photo robot that can follow me about an take a few pictures now and then.
