Adam Frucci описал то, что часто испытываешь на больших концертах, когда сотни людей достают свои фото-мыльницы и телефоны, чтобы сделать одно и тоже фото, но собственное, вместо того, чтобы наслаждаться моментом здесь и сейчас.
...this phenomenon happened when I saw Radiohead last summer. During the first few songs I could barely see the band due to almost everybody holding up digital cameras (and I was relatively close, too). These people weren't really paying attention to the show; they were trying to get their shots or keep their shitty video steady. And with pro photographers in the pit up front and hundreds of other people doing the exact same thing, there was just no point. Thankfully, people started putting their cameras away after not too long, but it seriously marred the experience of those first songs.
And in the end, what will help you remember an experience better: taking a not-great picture that's 80% crowd, or giving that experience 100% of your attention? You can always find photos online later, but you'll never be able to go back to that moment again and, well, pay attention to it. http://i.gizmodo.com/5136176/the-youth-ball-welcomes-obama-with-a-sea-of-digital-cameras
