Hi, it's Andy here and welcome to Radio Headspace and a Friday morning.

I'm pretty sure that at some stage, maybe not in the last 3 or 4 months or so, but at some

stage you will have been to an event where you'll have seen everybody with their phones

out either recording the event, taking pictures of the event, maybe even you had your own phone

out and you were doing the same thing.

I don't know about you but sometimes in those situations I find myself wondering how much

of the experience is actually being experienced in that moment and how much is trying to

be captured for some future time and therefore in doing that you're missing out in some way

on what's happening right now.

I actually find that quite a lot.

I love taking photos, but I'm not very good at it, I don't mean like I can't point the

camera in the right direction or my phone in the right direction, I just sort of forget

to do it.

Yet it's something I really love doing and I really enjoy other people's photography.

A moment captured is something so, so precious and yet the expression of that is always

so different.

I don't think all photos are equal.

I think you can tell when a photo maybe has been witnessed when the photographer has

not been part of the moment themselves, there's a kind of separation between that.

A photo that really moves me normally will be that moment in which the photographer,

the object of the photo and the moment that it's been captured in all sort of seem to

come together.
