Watching fireworks yesterday night, I was struck by all the phones taking pictures lighting up the darkness.

When I lean against my grandma
On the green couch
She talks about things that used to be
Does that mean
When I’m her
My grandkids won’t understand
I know you went running
yesterday
and your kids had a great
first day of school
picture, anyway,
I wore overalls too
but everyone will think
I was copying you
won't they didn't they

Your commentary is spot-on, and speaks so much of the times! I was out at my local fireworks display and noticed it too. I wound up taking a couple pictures myself, put down my phone with intention, then almost picked it up half a dozen times again to snap more pics... but I didn't. I always try to ask myself in these situations (concerts are another example), Why do I want to remember this moment, exactly? Because this moment is worth experiencing. Seeing work like this is another great reminder, and I can really appreciate the message you're communicating. Sometimes we just have to LIVE as if there were never an option to RElive the moment!
Thanks! I also totally find myself guilty of capturing the moment with a camera instead of enjoying it in the moment, and I think it’s always a good reminder to be here, now.
