A long-awaited family trip at the Baltic Sea, spent running barefoot on the beach at sunrise, eating Flammkuchen, drinking rosé, and laughing with my loved ones.

A few weeks ago I checked the shutter count on my DSLR camera, a Nikon D7000 that I got for my birthday 9 years ago. The shutter count represents the total number of times the camera's shutter has been clicked, so basically how many photos you've taken with the camera. DSLR cameras have a lifetime of 150,000 to 300,000 shutters, depending on the model (entry-level to professional). Now imagine my surprise when I read my shutter count: 12,366. This means that I've used around 7% of my camera's shooting capacity. Over 9 years. What does that say about me (and the world)?
