Sometimes less than best is better. That seems counter intuitive doesn’t it?
For the first year and a half of college I didn’t own a camera. Needless to say I didn’t take a lot of pictures. Looking back on it now, it doesn’t seem like such a bad thing. Sure, I missed capturing some memories. Although by not having a camera, I have now have an extra awareness to preserve the moments with snapshots. It’s not just the big moments but the small ones too; the random, candid ones. I feel like random photo shots are a way of catching up on the photos that I missed. It’s a way of really capturing the true moment. If you think about it, the random, candid photos are the ones that make up the bulk of our lives.
If I didn’t have that period of time where i felt like I missed out, I don’t know if I would have felt the same need to take pictures. I don’t know if the same photos would even have been taken. Maybe, maybe not.
