Best… Urinal… Ever.

If I only had a camera…

How many times in your life, have you seen something so incredible that you wish you had a camera to capture the moment.  Or have you ever found yourself saying:  “No one will believe this, if I don’t get it on video!”

With the advent of technology, and the proliferation of inexpensive decent quality camera-phones, we can now capture more of these surreal experiences, and share them with our friends and family.  I maintain that technology has made our lives more fun.  After all a picture is worth a thousand words. 

My friend put this on his Facebook this weekend:

I’m sure that even a very credible friend’s account of seeing a Zebra running down a busy street in a metropolitan area would be met with skepticism.  Even with the camera-phone grade picture, I found it a little difficult to believe, and was forced to fact-check his tale via Google.

Think of not only all the cute or funny candid moments that we capture every day on our phones, and share with loved ones by text or on social media sites like Facebook, but also all of the websites that feature such photos. 

People of Walmart comes to mind, and has inspired me to start taking pictures of random strangers—Usually on the train or at an airport.  Airports are great places to people-watch, since they contain such a diverse cross-section of society.

Here are a several from my personal Facebook collection:

Feel free to share some of your favorite camera-phone photos, and chime in.  How has technology made your life happier?
