Do you think taking photos helps us remember moments better, or does it get in the way of actually living them?

A natural way to answer

I think it cuts both ways. Photos can jog your memory and bring a moment flooding back, but there's a fine line between documenting an experience and watching it through a lens instead of living it.

Key phrases to use

• jog your memory — cause you to remember something you had forgotten“An old photo can jog your memory instantly.”
• a fine line — a small, easily crossed boundary between two things“There's a fine line between documenting and intruding.”
• miss the boat — miss an opportunity by being too slow or distracted“I was filming and missed the boat on actually enjoying it.”
