I don't want to forget

I have a friend who always bring a camera to every get together we have. We, meaning my circle of friends, would indulge her and pose graciously until she is satisfied that she has gotten the shot that would best capture the feeling and essence of the the day's event. I like taking pictures too but often times I am lazy to pick up my camera. It feels like breaking the spontaneity of the experience. I relied mostly on the memory of the experience. But lately, my memory has been less than reliable. i have had frustration after frustration in trying to remember details of an event, task, or object. I don't want to forget, I want to remember. feel it, see it, taste it.
