Reminds me of the Native American chief who refused to have his picture taken because he thought that the camera would steal his soul.

was actually a pretty common belief in various indigenous groups around the world, funny how multiple separate entities came to the same conclusion. A lot of very interesting ideas regarding the original forms of Camera technology. Almost makes me yearn for a time I've allegedly never lived in, but that's kind of straying away from my point. Needless to say I had a mushroom trip two years back where I actually got this weird kind of shivering vibe rushing over me where I could have sworn that cameras/pictures do steal some sort of percent of your being. I had the notion that I should seek and destroy all pictures existing of myself. Apologies for the loose subject matter, I've had a few drinks tonight.

and to finish my thought train out, I eventually spiraled into a little bit of sadness when I remembered that even if there are negative consequences to actions such as having a photo taken; ultimately, it would make my mother sad to lose pictures of me for the downtime in our speaking/communication.
