Usually, we take pictures during holidays, or important events.
Then we can watch them years later, to remember, or showing to others.
So, is taking photos more about enjoying the present or remembering the past?
First of all, I would say that people are use to take pictures because they are afraid to forget the present moment.
For instance : a party, a landscape, a family meeting.
All moments of our life is unit, that's why taking it in picture is a great way to remember.
Secondly, it's kind of the syndrome of "always and forever" we don't want something to end so we assume that taking it in picture will make this moment immortal.
Taking photos is also a way of communication today, and with the new modern ones, we are encouraged to takes and share it every days.
