I'm not much of a picture taker. I say "I want to savor the moment," but really memories feel like baggage to me. Thanks, Pavlov.
We visited Grand Canyon a few years ago and the first thing I said walking up to an edge was "this is fake."
These days, 99.9% of majestic picturesque things we see are pictures taken of majestic things. If reality is the representation of things most commonly experienced, pictures are real and physical things are fake. Or as I think I was saying, physical things are hyperreal and feel extra fake.
