I do some extreme sports for hobbies, where I am often the only person with the sense of mind to take shots with my trusty olympus TG2 (yes it's old, but still works) of others with me, whether underwater or 6Km above. My professional photographer friend often berates me for my framing, perspective, lighting choices etc, but when I'm hanging almost upside down and only using one hand covered by a mitt, whilst nobody else has the energy to pose or even think of stopping, I think there's only so much you can do.

Anyway, the point is, my friends have lots of pictures of themselves doing these activities, versus non at all.

Brain is an associative data store. You have lot's of stuff stored there, but you can't recall things without suitable key. Even a technically lousy photo can work as the key that bringz back the memories.

The best camera is the one you have with you.

I have "terrible" pictures of all sorts of things but what's important are the memories attached to them.
