I used to think this way, have relented somewhat--I probably still take quite a lot fewer photographs than most people, but I no longer avoid it out of principle, and sometimes when I'm on the road I make a point of trying to get photos of nice views, interesting fungi, cute animals, etc., for my gf. Shooting film is a nice compromise. I dare say sketching would be as well if I could draw worth a damn.
