1 trillion+
photos will be
taken in 2014
Source: Yahoo / Ellen DeGeneres
“…the desire to photograph the
whole world is not an attempt to
recover or create memories…
It is a need to affirm experience as
expressible and to create an aura of
talismanic protection.
Sometimes to gain that affirmation
you have to give up pursuing it.”

Will Steacy
Source: Photographs Not Taken, Will Steacy
“…finding highlights key
differences between people’s
memory and the camera’s
“memory” and suggests that the
additional attentional and
cognitive processes engaged by
this focused activity can eliminate
the photo-taking-impairment
effect.”

Taking photos can impair your ability to remember…
