Photography Assignment #6
Is something that is not photographed lost?
Think of some event in your own life or lifetime that you would like to have had photographed, and explain why you would like to have had it photographed.
Are they also events that you are sad were not photographed? Give your reasons for wanting them photographed.
Interesting questions..
I usually carry my camera with me EVERYWHERE I go, just in case I stumble across something I wish to photograph. There has been times where I have forgotten my camera or just haven't take it out with me. When I see something I want to photograph, I get annoyed with myself and I get disappointed as I have lost my opportunity.
I cannot think of an event in my life when I have thought "I wish someone had taken a photograph!". However my parents are always telling me and my sister stories about us as children about how we developed characteristics from such a young age. They sound really amusing and I would have loved to of seen them, but via videocamera, not still imagery. I guess they are not lost, as my parents remember these memories very vividly. If the memory is still there then to me, it doesn't matter if you do not have a photograph or a video.
Although, there are some moments where I really do wish I had photographed them. Around the house, some of the things my cats do are so human-like it's scary. I guess it's not important, but it is so strange and amusing I wish I photographed them. Of course I have tried to, usually by the time I go to get my camera they vanish. There has been some rare times where I have managed to capture them in action:
I suppose these moments are not that important and I guess it is no big deal to lose them in the scheme of things. 
In my opinion, you do not neccessarily need photographs to remember good times. There comes a time where society forces us to "lose" memories as we can't use our cameras everywhere.
For example: I went to some amazing galleries in Amsterdam. There was this one gallery we went to towards the end of the trip, it was relatively small and was showing an exhibition by Richard Avedon. It was really exciting to see an artist who's work I adore in a gallery whilst I was out there. There was about four black and white photographs blown up on a huge white wall and I wanted to photograph them. Two of them were of Bob Dylan in New York, but one was during the day and one was in the evening: they were both beautiful. The best photograph that was there was this absolutey huge photograph of Andy Warhol and people from his factory.The Andy Warhol photograph was just breathtaking, it was so immense, I really wanted to photograph people's reactions and I also wanted to show my friend it too (as he is a huge Warhol fan). It made me sad I couldn't share it with my friend because I know how much he would have loved it.
I find it wierd how sometimes society doesn't allow us to capture certain things, and it is interesting to hear other people's opinions and to see if they agree or disagree with the question. I don't think there is a wrong or right answer to this question, I just believe it's a matter of opinion.
In my opinion I do not feel like I have lost a memory or an oppurtunity if I haven't photographed something. If you spend too much time on taking the photographs, you do not get to experience the event. There are many ways of looking at it, and I wish to expand this question.

Over the past years I have been to many gigs, and in order to save the memories I have kept tickets, travel cards and I have sometimes bought merchandise too. Recently I have started to take my camera to gigs, and I like to look back at remember how amazing the experience was.
(Turin Brakes: 13/09/09 Theatre Royal Drury Lane)
I wish I had some photographs from my first gig. It was Elvis Costello at Royal Festival Hall, I went with my father. I think it was in 2000, I'm not sure. It was amazing, I remember it like it was yesterday. It was new and exciting. It was really strange going to a live performance as all my life I grew up listening to vinyls, cassettes, etc. I had never experienced the real thing before. I still remember it vividly, even though I have been to plently since then. I have since Elvis Costello three more times after that. I think this would have been a nice photograph to look back on as it marks my first concert and it was also the first of many gigs my dad took me to.
