Let alone including yourself in the picture. I know how you look like.
Let alone including your loved ones in the picture.
Even when their disappointment of having to face away from the monument is clearly visible in the photo.
And then you make them do stuff like ‘hold the sun in your hands’ or whatever.
Two kids down, I’ve found I still heavily dislike looking at those weird photos everyone seems to love to take, where everyone is just posed there side by side like in a school picture with a forced smile. All they end up reminding me is how mildly annoying taking said picture was.
However, I love looking back at those “in action” pictures. The ones where people are laughing, talking with each other, looking at stuff, playing games, going places, etc. The ones where people are acting naturally, sometimes even unaware they’re being posed. Those definitely bring back the memories. You see the emotion, the fun people are having. You get to see personalities, looks, mannerisms.
Absolutely this! We all need to take more “dumb” unscripted photos 🤓 they’re more fun anyway 🤭
I agree.
We have one (and just one) such picture, and my parents have framed it on the wall. And it wasn’t even shot at any special location, just a random roadside.
