&gt; They would like to have the photo in addition to the experience<p>You don&#x27;t get to have both. You have to take time out of the experience to take a picture of it.<p>&gt; typically so that they can remember it.<p>This reason makes sense if the person has some form of alzheimer&#x27;s, sure.<p>If you want something to remind you of it: have T-shirts I bought at every concert I&#x27;ve ever been to, which have the benefit of supporting the band and not taking time from the show and the experiences of the people behind me. They&#x27;re also something I&#x27;ll actually look at on a regular basis, because there are few enough of them that I can realistically look through them all, and most of them are still in good enough condition that I wear them occasionally. I&#x27;ve recently switched to buying records at the concerts instead, which has an even more direct connection to the experience.<p>&gt; spending five minutes snapping a few photos at a two hour concert is not going to &quot;ruin&quot; anything.<p>Except those five minutes.
