More and more in the last few weeks, I've been learning the value of leaving the camera at home or in the car. Sometimes, you just gotta have the camera. Perhaps that's most of the time. But sometimes, you benefit from just experiencing the world around you without the barrier that is created by the camera. Dance at the music show, look around at a beautiful landscape. Free yourself to be part of the experience instead of simply recording it for later.
Taylor and I have both experienced this recently - setting the camera down and existing as a human being, not as a photographer.
For instance, at our recent ZION adventure, I shot less than 150 frames in three days. Most of the time, I was simply enjoying the beauty of the park and the rain. It was a very refreshing change.
There you go. Don't forget to exist once in a while.
