when I was younger I was deeply afraid of having my picture taken and in general was very camera shy or ashamed of how I looked in pictures
I can’t really pinpoint why this is but I look back and wish I could tell myself that you’ll want them for the memories. Now I’m lucky to have friends who take plenty of pictures and bring point and shoot cameras everywhere they go

i used to always be the one taking photos when my friends and i hung out and i've slowed down a lot lately, while my phone's storage is definitely thanking me i really miss it! i miss having a hundred photos of my friends smiling when i look in my camera roll. i've never had the best memory so it's capturing a moment i would never be able to properly picture (pun unintended) on my own. i think i got worn down by the number of friends i had who'd make fun of it and tell me to just live in the moment but also pester me for photos later, and the fact that since i was the only one ever taking them, i never had any photos of me, but when i hang out with some of my best friends with the same philosophy it's so lovely because we all end up with a million photos of each other being happy :))

Been shooting film and digital since I was 16 and looking back the most interesting and important photos I’ve taken are of friends and family. You are not going to wish you had more pictures of buildings and landscapes later in life lol.

My mom makes fun of me for this, but I actually think it’s a lovely way to live in the moment when you’re with friends!!! No retakes, no fixating on perfection. Plus when you look back on them you get to be like “oh yeah!! I remember taking that pic!!!” The lack of instant gratification is good for my overanalyzing 💕
