I agree entirely! I’m usually the only person that carries around a camera (less so in the past few months, but I used to have a reputation for it). When I’ve taken a bunch of pictures at an occasion, people usually act annoyed/avoidant at the time, but then months/years later, when they see the photos again (either by stumbling across them or looking back through them), I ALWAYS get comments about how happy they are to have those photos, how much they love them, etc. I think that generally, people underestimate the significance of photography, period (both the effort behind artistic photography and the candid photography that captures special moments)–it’s a technology that is so readily available (hello camera phones!) that it ends up being overwhelmingly taken for granted.
