There is no divorce - at the very least you will reveal the proof of your absence. Part of the appeal of instant photography is its transparency. Perversely, I found them to be even more alienating. There is very little more melancholy than instantly transforming a moment into a memory. It's like pinning a butterfly on a board.
Camcorders have the same effect.
I have one, but I hardly ever use it. It throws me right out of lived experience and I hate it. I gave up photography because I could no longer stand being outside the world, even for fractions of a second. Those fractions add up, no matter how small they seem. The more significant a moment is, the less likely I am to even think of a camera.
