I worry about my growing tendency to want to capture everything on camera. I was guilty of it myself in Prague, taking photos of things I knew I wouldn’t want to look at again (although there are also many that jog happy memories). Looking through more recent photos I am struck by how widespread this disease is: in most of my photos you can glimpse someone else taking a photo of something else. We seem to spend more time capturing our moments for future memories than we do actually enjoying them. Christmas 2006 was the epitome of this – a video camera in the corner of the room captured everything.I love looking back over my photos and remembering things: my Google toolbar flicks through all the photos on my computer and I am reminded of many things that had slipped out of my immediate consciousness. But isn’t there also a value in not capturing some things, in allowing them to slip away? I will have to keep an eye on my desire to record everything in this way, and perhaps spend a bit more time enjoying things as they happen.
