Yes, actually. Lots of people do - lots of people who use picture
taking in a huge variety of ways, may of which give them great
personal pleasure.
Do we really have a problem with that? Is there something wrong with
liking the digital darkroom? Is there something wrong with checking
to see whether your composition is as good as you thought, and being
able to redo the shot when you realize it's not? Is there something
wrong with taking a bunch of pictures of your grandchild's 2nd
birthday party to put on Facebook or Flickr and share with the aunts
and uncles and cousins and other grandparents who couldn't be there?
Is there something wrong with not waiting three days to discover that
something you accidentally did in the picture taking was more
interesting than what you were concentrating on? Does being able to
lift up your iPhone and take a photograph necessarily imply that you
won't think as much about the result as you would if you had a "real"
camera?
Or are we dealing with a snob here, again?
