This Game Plan column was such a no-brainer. I talk about Italy, people ask about my pictures. I guess I’m odd in that I like to experience what I’m seeing rather than snap away.
In any event, here’s my take on why I don’t tend to take many photos on vacation: Learning to Savor Life’s Moments.
No mean to offend, but I enjoy capturing special moments here and there– not obssessively. Just enough images to warm my heart every time I look back. I also support photographers a great deal.
I get what you’re saying. However, I’m kinda a 50/50 person, especially considering that many are visual creatures who absorb colors, light and beauty in all its forms in addition to writings. Show and Tell :).
No offense taken, Deb. I was actually trying really hard not to offend in the column but just try to understand why I don’t gravitate to taking photos. I’m a huge supporter of photography and was in no way commenting on the art of that. Most of the tourists I was talking about are not doing it for the art, trust me 🙂
Understood. Since we’re going there, I can’t stand obnoxious tourists, and a subject has to draw me in a special, fun way before I photograph it.
