Maybe just to remember somthing. Or to document a moment in time. Can you imagine trying to peice history together with just text. Our to show somthing to someone that wasn’t there.

that is true in my case…

And sometimes it doesn’t. We’ve lost friends, family, pets. Wish we’d taken more pics. Sometimes you don’t know it’ll be the last time

What I think is worse is the fear when they take photos of memories they may never be able to share… even to themselves.

That moment never WILL happen again, and you never know when it will be the time on Earth that you will see a loved one. When they time comes, there are never even photos to look back on.

That’s because it won’t. You can try to relive a moment at the exact time and place, but it won’t ever be or feel the same. Taking pictures preserves that moment for a lifetime.

I have a terrible memory. A photo helps me remember things I did, places visited and things I have seen that I may never get a chance to ? again.
I still have photos of Leslie, my 2x ex-girlfriend. The good times we had together are something to remember. If I ever get married, I will create new memories with that special ?, which will last a life time.

I take photos because my memory is terrible. I forget things I’ve done during the day, by dinner time. I take at least 3 photos every day so I’ll remember those things. Years of sleeplessness has finally caught up to me. I’m not afraid the moment won’t happen again… I’m just afraid I’ll forget it.

Well, duh. WTF kind of query is this? Haha. Preposterous. Almost unfathomable to somebody was it that somebody else would like to re-enjoy a moment of their life’s history? They mustn’t have had much of a life of their own worth recalling perhaps.

I have never liked being in photos. I love taking them. However, I have been able to bring back some memories from childhood by looking at old photos. After a traumatic event, I lost many memories. Photos are helping me retrace the steps I took in my journey. They prove that I was there (wherever there was). Lol

Yes and no. I take pictures because I know the exact same moment will never happen. Each moment is a beautiful thing and if I can capture even a small part of it then I’m estatic.

If you let that moment never happen again. I’ve been with my wife (not legally married) for 17 years. The trick is to not let things get boring, complement herhim daily,flowers once or twice a week and just all around cherish the one you’re with like they are the only one that you have eyes for

It’s not that way 4 me. But to share memories visually with others. I don’t have any pics of my ex wife who’s been in heaven 4 over 5 long years now. But I still remember exactly what she looks like when I think about her !!

That’s too pessimistic. I take pics to capture the good memory and recall them in my bored and tough times

But now a days ppl take pic only to show others. Ask yourself how many pic of u that u have took before, that u see again for remembering those moment !!!!!

Not true in my case. I do it to show my future children moms life before them. I want them to see all the good I have done for animals and other people. Actions ALWAYS speak louder than words

U Never will get that moment back. That’s why you take pics, to document & remember that moment in the future.

I don’t take a lot of pictures. I might regret that someday. And I get rid of pictures of me with my exes. I am getting a divorce soon and I’m not sure if I want any pictures of the 12 years wasted. But, they are the only pics I have of myself when I was in my 20’s. Has anyone here gotten divorced and kept pictures and the wedding album? I don’t know what to do with mine.

This is true. For all the right reasons. This is why I take more pics of my pets than myself. I just lost my cat of 14 years tonight as he passed, making me realize all the moments I caught and more appreciative of all the moments I never caught.

I was never one for taking photos. There are many moments I wish I had, but because I didn’t I have a vivid “picture” in my mind. I have a video recorded that I can remember for the rest of my life. Put down the camera or the smartphone and just live the moment. Nothing beats that! Take in the sight of your loved one, the sounds around you, the smell of her perfume… No photo can compete!

My daughter will never be born again. That moment will never happen again! Same as our day to day life, we might do those small things daily but she will never look exactly like that day ever again. We took our daughter to Disney World for her 5th birthday and she will never be 5 at Disney ever again. So yes, take pictures because that exact moment will never happen again.

I think they want a beautiful, happy, or even sad moment to hold on to for ever so every time, they see that picture they get that joy, beauty or even sad somber moment back . Its more value then fear. That what i think any how.
