With all of the technology today, I have hundreds and hundreds of pictures on my cell phone and on the cloud. I don't remember a day WITHOUT taking, at least, a couple pics.

When are we, or, are we... spending too much time with our phone out trying to snap the next picture to place on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram? Having my phone out ALL THE TIME, trying to capture the moment, feels like I sometimes miss LIVING IN THE MOMENT.

My HTC ONE has, without a doubt, a great camera and video camera, and I have some great stuff on there of my experiences with my wife and HUNDREDS of pictures of my daughter.

Having my camera out constantly and in my daughters face, has got to get annoying to her. It like life, I think you have to balance taking pictures and living in the moment.

I, for one, like to put my phone down and live in the moments with my daughter and wife, because our imaginations snap those pictures and videos too. Your imagination also captures the FEELING of the moment.

It has become a goal, of mine, to be mindful and experience each moment in real time and find that balance to take a pic or two. Not to capture every waking minute looking at my wife and daughter through the screen on my phone.

I do love that I have this smiling face captured.
