Just because you can document and share nearly every moment of your life doesn’t mean you should. Stop worrying so much about stealing away with an image or a clip that perfectly crystallizes the night, like a trophy to collect, another document to catalog, and just experience it. Enjoy it. There’s not a camera on the planet that can capture the way a concert makes you feel. Take one picture. Mark the occasion. Then put your goddamn camera down.

It always bears repeating. Perhaps people will start to listen? Someday? I admit, watching people watch shows through their cameras is one of the myriad reasons I don’t go out much anymore. Psychic pain, all those distracting, glowing little screens and blinding strobe flashes.

….I think there are a few areas of life this applies to, don’t you?
