Oh, I think some would, as it's not a matter of what media was used, at all...
Seems to me, the entire object of recording an image is so you or others can
view that scene, exactly as you saw it through your eyes, whenever desired. All
the rest obtains from that image capture and storage, no matter where and how
it's stored.
Unless and until those images are made available for viewing, even the
photographer's own personal viewing, might just as well not have taken them.
If you take the camera out of the equation, just do the traveling, and let the
memory (the images) of the entire experience remain only in your brain cells.
If the _act_ of taking a photograph is all there is, why bother with film or a
memory card? Keep your battery charged and go thru the motions, because
capturing the image is not the end product ~ being in a place of your choosing
to experience the environment at that very moment and clicking the shutter is.
In light of which, absent the image, it boils down to being a wholly selfish
act, doesn't it.
Sharing is absent, too, isn't it.
That's not being critical, it's simply an observation of the process.
