A recent survey commissioned by Duracell shows that more Americans would be more upset at missing a photo of a family event than one of a celebrity sighting. Respondents ranked images of a baby's first step (47 percent) or a child's graduation (38 percent) as the most important moments to capture on camera. By contrast, celebrity sightings like Johnny Damon's first at-bat as a New York Yankee (two percent) or the first photo of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's baby (one percent) landed at the bottom of the list. Family moments also scored significantly higher than ego-driven ones: fewer than 10 percent of respondents said that their top priority would be an image of themselves snagging the largest catch on an annual fishing trip.
