Experience v. Capture.

Notice not one of the kids in this photo has their eyes on the President and his wife. Instead the focus is on the tiny LCD screen on the back of their camera capturing the image of the President and his wife that they are about to take. Are they missing out on anything? When all is said and done, what’s a lifecast worth on a deathbed? I thought about this this past weekend when I taking picture of Obama’s train going through Claymont. Would I experience more if I put down the camera and watched the train pass? Wouldn’t it be better if I waved back at the President instead of just taking a picture of him?
