When
travelling abroad, a person tends to wish to document every single moment and
every single thing they see. However, is that really the best idea now?
Sometimes, a person is stuck behind a phone or camera, that all they see is the
view through a screen, something that can happen anywhere. Putting down the
phone or camera allows you to get a view of the place with your own eyes,
something that is more memorable than a picture. Yes, if something is amazing,
then take a picture of it. But, if the camera or phone is distracting you from
actually being able to spend time in the present and a world without technology
for five minutes, then put it away. My family loves to document things. It
always bothers my brother and I, because they, specifically my dad, is always
hidden behind the camera. He seems to love taking pictures, but sometimes it
seems like he has a different experience. If it doesn’t bother him, that is ok,
but that is because he enjoys taking pictures at parties, he is not at a
totally different place where he is experiencing new things. Therefore, just
put the screens down and enjoy.
