People don&#x27;t place a higher value on the photo than the experience.<p>They would like to have the photo in addition to the experience, typically so that they can remember it. Sure, you can look at a professional photograph of Times Square, but it&#x27;s probably not going to help you remember the time when you were there. And you can&#x27;t point to it and later and say, &quot;hey grandkids, try to imagine me standing here but really young!&quot;<p>It&#x27;s bizarre to me that you don&#x27;t understand this.<p>It&#x27;s also strange that you think spending time taking a photo would cause you to somehow &quot;miss&quot; the experience - which, I guess would be true if the experience were a one-time only event that lasted a few seconds - but spending five minutes snapping a few photos at a two hour concert is not going to &quot;ruin&quot; anything.
