One in the hand is worth many in the mind - it is great to relive that moment with the actual photo!!!.

Decades ago I learned that I could attend an event (in my case automobile or motorcycle races at Laguna Seca) to follow (keep track of) and enjoy the event, or to photograph it, but not both. Each activity entailed concentrating on different things, being at different places at different times, etc. Attempting to do both was a waste of time, producing both poor photographs and lack of appreciation of the racing. I found it more satisfying to do one or the other exclusively.

For me, it’s about balance. You need both, “stop and smell the roses”, can’t be captured by your camera. 😀

Our daughter is now raising our nine-month old grand-daughter. Lots of memories crowd the space in the 30+ years between when our daughter was that age and now. Photos help to remind me of those times.

8-10 photos a year covers that nicely.

Then there are all the other aspects of my life.
For a number of years, my wife and I visited Canadian NP “Pt Pelle”. Some years we stopped at another wildlife area on the way home. One year, we heard a ‘clip-clop’; we stopped, and eventually a Deer came into sight. It stopped, puzzled to see humans on ‘its trail’ - and I took a photo - then it dashed into the woods.
We’re not talking “artistic” here - memories. A photo here, a photo there. To paraphrase Ev Dirkson, soon you are talking about a lot of photos. Not very many for any particular occasion or event, perhaps just one per occasion, but lots of memories tied to them.

On my second safari I left my camera in the tent. If I want to capture an animal by photo I go to the Zoo. I felt so much more involved with all wildlife just observing

I’ve never been on a safari, but I might have photographed the tent. Memories.

This man *really* knows how to FULLY indulge in whatever is rocking his boat on any day.

First time around beneficially informed your next go around. OTOH, some folks will just never catch on :-(

I shoot landscape and wildlife.
Zero interest in shooting people or the artificial world.
So I often do not have my camera...even on vacations.

IOW, you are on a REAL vacation, honoring the root source of that word: "vacate".

When we took our ‘honeymoon’ in Maine some 40+ years ago, I was very much away from my job and with my new wife - but I still photographed her reading on the rocks; she took time to enjoy her hobby and I took time to enjoy mine. We didn’t spend every moment ‘in each other’s pockets’. Maine was different because she had gone there - why not record that truth?
When we visited Mt Rushmore, I recorded male relatives spending a dime using their viewers. Things that you won’t see in one of those postcards or slides that they sell.
