I've heard this argument before. Drop the recording device, they say. Don't try to capture the experience, just live in the moment. "This is the photographer's curse: you become so good at seeing life through a lens that you forget how to see it with just your eyes... And the newsletter has made it worse... I'm looking for the story, the angle, the insight that will justify sending another email to thousands of people." My experience is totally different. For me, the camera and the newsletter change what I'm doing from shallow experience, easily lost and forgotten, to deep experience, rich in aspect and potential. You may think of it as just preening on the stage like a Madonna; I view it as a life fully lived and not merely experienced. (p.s. I also prefer to think of my own 66 years of age as 'mid-life' - gotta stay positive, right?). Via D'Arcy Norman.
