These days, our experiences almost don’t feel real if you can’t photograph them. At times, it feels like documenting a meaningful experience is more important than having the experience. It’s like ‘pics or it didn’t happen’ has actually become true. And even more weirdly, it feels to me sometimes like, maybe we do things for the pic. Like our choices are based on how well our lives will photograph, rather than how those lives actually make us feel.
