I also used to be really (really really) into photography. Personally, I’ve stopped taking pictures because of the stigma around a camera.
Everyone, me more than most, doesn’t want their picture taken, or to be in the background of other photos. When someone can take thousands of pictures an hour, and upload them all to some social media site to be permanently stored… idk it’s shifted from a way to capture a moment to feeling like you’re being survieled.
A bit hyperbolic, but it’s the best way to describe what I’m feeling
