Why It Works
Taking intentional photos forces you to truly observe your surroundings—noticing details you'd normally overlook. This habit trains 'traveler's eye': the ability to find beauty and interest anywhere. Photos also create tangible records of exploration, building a visual timeline of your adventures. The act of photographing makes experiences more memorable—your brain encodes the moment more deeply when you pause to capture it.
