Remember when you took a trip as kid? You likely have lots of memories of all the moments along the way. You may have had a camera to help record the "story." You likely had a roll of film with 36 pictures (only) that showed how your entire trip unfolded.

Now people are able to take more pictures than ever, but those pictures live on their devices long term. When returning from a recent trip to New York, Blogger Todd Vorenkamp took great photos. Even though he brought back more pictures than previous trips he also returned with far fewer memories. It appeared that the more effort he put into getting more and better shots, the less he was in tune with people around him. 

It does remind me of the time when I was at Niagara Falls. Along the wall overlooking the falls, all the people had their backs to the falls, looking into their phones on their selfie sticks. The only 'view' of the falls they had was through their phone. How much of the power of those waterfalls can you really digest in a 3x3 inch phone view?

Perhaps the way to get the most out of a trip is to leave the camera behind!
