Living in the Moment

Last night I had the wonderful opportunity of visiting with one of my best friends who lives a plane ride away. As I got ready to meet her I packed both my video camera and my digital camera. The plan was we could take lots of photos to remember the good times. The end result was despite dragging my camera bag around, I didn't take a single photo.

It seems like my generation has an obsession with documenting our every thought and action. Whether it be in a blog, such as this, Facebook status updates, or billions of pictures and videos. Sometime I wonder if, in our obsession to document, we forget to really experience life. I had a fabulous time with Cody, and if I had been taking photos of us together, I wonder if I would have enjoyed the night as much as I did. While I do miss the opportunity of having new photos to up up on my wall, I don't wish the night had gone any other way.
