I have a lot of memories of photos of my parents & other family and us as wee bairns taken in the 70s/80s that very much include a lot of ‘lining up to have your picture taken’ rare occasion stuff
but yeah, the ubiquity of the camera put paid to a lot of that
I had an Olympus OM1 in the 90s and was quite the photo hobbyist until all my equipment got nicked from a Gîte in the Ardêche
so it goes
damn shame
