Nowadays, we often photograph our lives to validate their reality, allowing for digital storage of our visual memories. Some feel that this may impact our ability to fully experience the events of our
own lives because we are so busy taking photos of them. Explore and analyze this idea by
providing a scenario where taking photos of an event might take away from the experience as well
as a scenario where photographing the event might add to entire experience. These can be from
personal experience or made up.)

During a kayaking exploration, a girl called Melinda took pictures. She spent the majority of the time examining the lighting, angle, or some such thing of her photos, determining if they were worthy to be posted on her social media.  She failed to contribute to the experience of being one of the ones propelling the boat forward or interact in any other way than annoyance at being distracted by anything or anyone. It is fair to say that Melinda did not have the optimal experience due to her desire to catalogue the experience that she was hardly a part of.

At his wedding reception the groom, Ben, took shaky photos of himself, his new bride, and his friends and guests. In the vast majority of the photos, his smile could rival the most gleeful known to humankind. When he thought to, he catalogued the details in between the ceremony, the speeches, the first dance, and the send off to the honeymoon. His memories were centered upon the experience and not the pictures he took during his enjoyment of his special day. It is fair to say that Ben had the optimal experience because the process of taking the pictures did not impact the day in any memorably negative way.
