To capture memories and also to use it as a form of art

To revisit past experiences when they are old and their memory has left them.

Also to share experiences because sometimes verbal stories are not enough...some also do it as a bragging tool to show they really did go there.

Nostalgia at a later date, to re-experience memories forgotten, and to capture a vision within one's own mind so that later on another may share the vision and possibly feel similar emotions as the one originally capturing the vision.

Taking pictures is art to some ,and others like to even see pictures of our ancestors.

So they can brag about them on facebook, obviously.
