        From now on I will write:

        Recording has become an emotional expression like applause.

        To quote the great LadyButterfly, one of the greatest poetic and philosophical Lemmyings of all time.

    That video will not capture the total environment that existed, and that you missed because you were trying to video it.

    I met the neighbors who talked about their trip in Europe, and then proceeded to show me a 2 minute video of fireworks in Paris off their phone.

    It wasn’t even like a good shot or framing, nor could I tell it was Paris. It was just a random hotel room, and in the background, fireworks.

    She then put her phone away and said, “Neat, huh?”

    I don’t know if it was just peak comedy or if I was being Punk’d or something.

        It’s a time honoured thing from back in the day when you took your camera with you on holiday, your roll of film had 36 exposures that you had to ration and think carefully about where and when to use them.

        So when you got back and had your photos developed and printed, you had 36 photos to share with people.

        Now you can take thousands of pictures per day with your phone and there’s no life to any of them as you force people to swipe through them.
