I have read recently that most people these days miss important life events because they are busy sharing that event on social networks. Well, the first two pictures are pretty cool and unique to have, but...
Pictures from delivery rooms... give the woman and the baby a break. That is just tasteless. Look at the picture - one guy taking a picture, the father taking a picture with his phone. That guy would witness a kick in the head from me. Hold her hand, not your phone!
Your baby's first steps... you're to busy to take a picture and to post it on Facebook, in stead of having that moment of joy to remember for ever. I remember my sister's first steps, but I have no pictures to document it. And I am glad for that.
Surprise moments. I made a stupid move and took pictures of my mom receiving her birthday cake... I was hiding behind the camera. She was so emotional and almost cried, and I was holding the stupid phone
. OK, I did have my fair share of that emotional exchange after I put down the camera, but... At one moment I had the idea 'this is going on Facebook'. Enjoying life as it is must be me priority. I often stop and think of these things. As I said it - Step Away From the Computer, iPhone, Android, iPad... embrace life, enjoy it!
