Day 053: The Metanarrative II


Day 053:

[re-edit] Some days are just worth that capture.

What is that impulse that drives us to document significant (maybe more than a few non-significant) portions of our lives? Maybe it is born out of our experience of forgetting. "I think I'd like to remember this... 20 years from now." If we don't have pictures, we'd tend to forget a whole lot more. Maybe it is born out of our new urge to tell other people of our experiences... We'd take pictures, to send to this person, or to post on our social networking site. Pictures add more flavor, more detail, than simply "We tasted good wine at Kups's place!!!" Maybe it's also our idea of maximizing the gadgetry we have.
