  Its annoying to take pictures I would rather be having fun
context: When you are taking a picture you are focusing on the present moment >
  
  Personally i often take pictures and videos with both my phone and a camera, so I guess I’m your worst nightmare on vacation. I use my phone to take memories I can look back on later, which I actually do and then remember moments I would have otherwise forgotten. I use my camera because I enjoy the editing process after and learning which settings produce which result, it’s a hobby. >
  
  I agree. but also, after the trip is over, I LOVE looking at the old pictures and videos. maybe there can be an invention in the future where taking pictures and videos is less annoying. >
  
  Memories fade without reminders. You shouldn’t have your eye in the view finder for literally the entire trip, but it’s good to have a camera for things you’d like better memories of. 
  But, honestly, some people just love photography and the point of the trip may be for them to get some good photos of a place they don’t get to photograph often or maybe even more than once. >
  
  When I'm old and gray, my memory is shit, I'd like to see some photos of what I did, where I went, etc. Some people make it obsessive, yes. But I feel naked or weird without a camera to document at least one thing lol >
  
  I feel the same. I could end up losing my memory, and I'd rather have some images of my happiest years to look at when I do. Every photo is unique and has its own story, one that only the photographer knows, and that's what makes it so special. >
  
  Agree. If I'm having fun I'm not interrupting it to use my phone. >
  
  I rarely take pictures anymore anyway
