I too have noticed this..... It happens with me and then i keep my camera in my bag and rely on my laziness so that only take it out when i really feel to click a snap........ The second thing that i have noticed is when we plan for travel, we are always in a time constraint and most people try to cover a lot of things.... so that they may not feel bad if someone asks if they have been to that XYZ place in that particular place...... My idea is to go to a place and if you dont have the adequate time then just visit those places which you may find interesting and enjoy those places..... Instead of just putting a tick mark against all must see destinations..... In hindi i would say..... Har Mandir Mein Mattha Tekney ki Jagah , Ek Mandir Mein Itmenan se Pooja Karney par jyada sukoon milta hai.... Came to your blog for the first time and found it quite interesting..... Will keep a tab on it for your new posts but before that i have my task cut out and i.e. to read all your earlier posts... Byee... A nice post……. I too have noticed this….. It happens with me and then i keep my camera in my bag and rely on my laziness so that only take it out when i really feel to click a snap……..

I take tons of photos on all my trips and would hate to not have them as mementos. I think it's important to capture the moment for oneself, instead of wanting to post it on Facebook asap, but too much of anything can be bad thing, not to say irritating for your fellow travelers.

I might not really be the follower of the saying a picture is worth a thousand words , but i find it fascinating to interpret more than what meets the eye in a frame. Once you carry back a memory with you - and revisit that place - it can actually become like a source of inspiration to aid your writing better. so i guess - its the balance that works the best for me and not click every minute or leave the camera behind route. If a picture can capture an angle , a compositing , a moment that cant be really defined through words - doesnt that add a new dimension to a travel memory too?

I've faced the same confusion a lot many times. Somehow, I've managed to strike a fair balance so far, but at times you do get carried away with ur camera.
