While I agree with the intention behind this, I am never sure if _____ Day has any lasting impression on people.
There is something to be said for, just living in the moment. There was a time where I wouldn't take a camera with me wile I travelled. I found that photographs tend to become the memory of the trip rather than the trip itself (ie photos mediate the experience).
I am always amused by people who walk around with a video camera while on vacation or while at some even (like a child's graduation). I wonder how often they will actually look at those tapes. I wonder how much they have missed while fucking around with their camera.
I have since found a happy medium.
