The experience of photographing, in my opinion, will always be better than the photograph. Take the above image for example, a rocket launched last week in California for releasing new satellites up above us. It was an unexpected surprise and one I was fortunate enough to witness from my balcony, but the image is pale in comparison to the actual event. Very often, particularly with sunsets, I wont make a photograph, but rather just enjoy the moment. Photograph will record, but often only serve as a reminder of what you witnessed.
