There’s an article floating around that claims that taking lots of pictures has detrimental effects for your memory.
As a photographer, I was a little troubled to read this naturally.
But after reading the article carefully, I realized I don’t have much to worry about.
While it’s true I take a lot of pictures, I only take a lot of pictures when I’m documenting events.
Important events and milestones need to be documented.

I don’t indiscriminately take pictures of everything I see.
I believe the article is directed at folks who whip out the smartphone and fire willy-nilly, making their smartphone a substitute for their memory.
On this this special Sunday, I would like to wish all you fathers out a “Happy Father’s Day”
Make it a good one.
