SHUTTER CLICK - Documenting Vs Experience - Dad's Old Camera.

Me with my Dad's old Voigtländer Camera

The Voigtländer roots was founded in Vienna, Archduchy of Austria in 1756, by Johann Christoph Voigtländer (de). Voigtländer produced mathematical instruments, precision mechanical products, optical instruments, including optical measuring instruments and opera glasses, and is the oldest name in cameras.

Most of the time we have to remind ourselves to enjoy being somewhere or doing something, without having the need to document every second of it. We document everything on our cameras and phones and all social media uploads could leave us with all the photos and video and none of the experience.

I try to maintain a good balance between documenting my experiences and living the experience.

Reminds me of a joke I heard a while back:
Guy gets back from his holiday abroad, and his friends and family asked him how the holiday was, and he replied: "I don't know, I haven't looked at my photo's yet." lol :-)

We all want some photos and video to look back on and to show friends and family, and also just to keep for posterity. Many years from now, unlike in centuries gone by, future generations would pretty much be able to look up their entire family tree and each of their family members history, by simply logging onto social platforms.

So I guess genealogy is being made easy and truly accessible to anyone who is interested in what their great grand parents were up to in their heyday. I think this could turn out to be a good thing or a bad thing depending on just how much information you share, lol

So I would suggest excising some degree of caution when you share your life, and bare in mind your great grand kids could be viewing what you post today. That would probably be a good measure as to whether or not it is appropriate for sharing.

Stay Blessed, and present in all your adventures. :-)
Happy steeming, @steemians.
