Let alone including yourself in the picture. I know how you look like.

Let alone including your loved ones in the picture.

Even when their disappointment of having to face away from the monument is clearly visible in the photo.

And then you make them do stuff like ‘hold the sun in your hands’ or whatever.

    So what if you know what I look like, I’m taking the picture for me, not for you.

    Not sure how old you are, but you sound young. Unless you’ve got a photographic memory, your recollection of things will start to fade, and those pictures will bring back memories you’ve forgotten. I’ve been traveling consistently for around 20 years now, and the photos are so precious. It’s not about capturing a monument you can look at from other photos, it’s about capturing you in that time as you were.
