I don't disagree with your "enjoy the moment" thesis, but I also envy your memory recall capability. For me, photos can resurrect memories I don't have access to normally.

Yes, me too. I have a photographic memory that is getting worse with age. I remember things vividly but have no emotional attachment to the memory, and memories of myself doing things are in the third person so I can't seem to "enjoy" the memory of an event, but visually "see myself" in the memory (which doesn't make sense). Photos and videos help me "relive" the moment.
That being said, I have far too many photos (and camera bodies!).
