    I have friends who get upset that i don’t take enough photos while hiking, camping or paddling. I always tell them they are welcome to come and experience it themselves instead.

      One of the most amazing experiences as an adult is going back through pictures of people doing things. My friends, my family. I sit with my wife and kids and we tell stories to them about our youth, they ask questions about them. The most amazing experience is showing them those pictures and seeing their amazement that their old parents were once young men and women.

      There is nothing wrong with not posting those for other people, but pictures of people have a way helping you visceraly remember the emotions of that event.

      You’re not wrong at all, that’s just a different perspective on pictures.
