You Might be a Photographer…
…if you’ve planned family vacations around landscapes or subject you want to photograph.

I feel you. Something I’ve been experimenting with, though, is going on my walks without my camera and just appreciating everything I see, knowing that there is a neverending supply of beauty coming my way and I will never run out. I think there’s a bit of FOMO in every shutterbug, pro or no.
My efforts have been rewarded. One day at dawn, just before the sun cleared the hill behind me, a massive–MASSIVE–triple (yes, triple) rainbow filled the valley below the high trail I was on. It was so electrically, radioactively bright, I thought it would cast a shadow. Because I didn’t have a camera, I paused for nearly thirty minutes and really soaked in the memory. To this day, I can still feel it.
None of my photos feel like that.
