Photos can be very useful to remind you how great something was when you were too tired at the time to fully appreciate the moment (think of your children!). However, taking photos all the time detracts from staying in the moment and makes you superficial (stay on the surface). It is also a great practice to resist taking a snap shot! And using the moment to smell, feel, be (I did this in front of a Hammemelis tree, in flower already!).
