Your Photographic Memories

“When the agony of missing the shot trumps the joy of the experience worth shooting, the adventure athlete (climber, surfer, extreme skier) reveals himself to be something else: a filmmaker, a brand, a vessel for the creation of content … the purpose of the trip or trick is the record of it. Life is footage.” From Nick Paumgarten in The New Yorker: We Are a Camera — Experience and memory in the age of GoPro.

+ I continue to think that none of our modern technologies are having a greater psychological impact than digital photography. From me: This is You on Smiles.
