Of course, I wouldn't do it with everyone but it would be nice to have a face to go with the name (I could later write down the circumstances in which we met). I know I have talked to wonderful people that I would like to get to know better but when looking at the cards later (after fishing them out of my purse), I have no idea who is who.
If you have a bad memory, don't take their photo, when you meet people will you put them on hold to check your phone? What if you think you just met someone, will you take the picture again?

The best way is just to not stress it. make yourself unique so they remember you. You will get to know them that way. If someone shows interest in you, you will show interest in them.

Don't take pictures. Where a cool hat or a flower... make people know you!!!!
