Please don't look at them now...
I like to take pictures on my digital camera. For a while, I had an obsession of taking pictures of anything I see and going back to see how it came out after I bought my first digital camera. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that I was letting go of every moment that passed away while I was checking to see whether the pictures were acceptable or not. When I looked at the pictures, I was looking at the moment that had just passed, the moment that would never come back to me. Since I read the article "Making Memories in Real Time" by Amy Harmon, I try not to "waste" my time looking at pictures on my camera, instead of enjoying the time. Last time when I went out with my friends I caught my friends taking pictures and "sneaking a peek" on the camera. It was funny how I remembered the article right at that moment and suggested my friends to live the moment. Don't look at them now.
