Open mind (I’m back!)

I’m not one to worry about things. Oh I do think a lot, too much some will say, but I’m not the kind that has to often "clear the cobwebs of the mind". That said I like to travel just to look at things. I’m so often going places to specifically find and photograph something that it was great to spend 4 days just driving about some of the most beautiful landscape in the world without having to make a single picture of it.

Oh I did drag more photo gear with me than anyone on a casual long weekend would dare to do but I did end up using almost every single piece of gear that I crammed into my big case from 14mm to 400mm to 105 micro and even my wireless remote system. (Oh yeah – I’m a tourist!) Regardless it was great to be out and to put the mind in an idling mode for a bit. I think the wife enjoyed it too and I made sure that I didn’t spend every possible moment running wildly about making photos. In fact I made quite few but that wasn’t the point of the trip. The point of any trip is to go, right?

P.S. it was nice to not be in "journalist" mode the whole time.
