only take pics of things you cant google

I watched the sunrise every morning this past week in Mexico. When I looked to my left and right, everyone was taking photos of it. I’m very anti “Put your phone away and enjoy the show” vibes, I think that’s pretentious and naive. BUT: when it’s something as simple and common as a sunrise, the effect actually IS better if you just let it all in IRL. Because you probably will never look at that photo again. If you can google image search something, why would you need an image of it?

Taking pictures just for yourself

Since I stopped using IG I never remember to take pictures or videos but love looking back at things like this pretty tree i saw. Helps me stop and appreciate the moment

Take More Photos

Without sounding like a bitter luddite, I miss the days of people capturing moments for the sake of remembering, not sharing with strangers. We all have childhood VHS footage and disposable photos of seemingly mundane moments at family BBQs, birthday parties, vacations, etc, but in the iPhone age most of our photos are taken with the intention of posting. This is a crucial difference, for me at least, so I recommend getting a camera not because it takes better photos than your phone, but because it'll remind you to capture more regular slices of life.

Listen/Talk without INSERTING YOURSELF

Try talking to someone without “oh yeah, when something similar happened to me…” or “that reminds me of [me story]” Or “I totally understand because I…” - It’s hard, but worth trying

”learking”

Lurking + Learning. Noticed I am posting every day. Not sure we all have enough cool recs to be posting constantly without trying too hard. Don’t want to turn this place into another “look at me!” platform. Here’s to the value of quiet lurking & learning
