Walkabout


(Snapped on 1/30/11 - using an iPhone and an Instagram filter)

Lately I've gotten into the habit of taking walks. Sometimes I stroll up the road from my house, other times I drive to a particular place, park my car and walk aimlessly for hours...

...and I always bring my arsenal of cameras along with me.

What I love so much about doing this, is both - noticing things that I never would've otherwise, and finding value in things that I've likely seen a hundred times before.

The simple act of walking, forces me to slow down, and pay closer attention...and the surprises I find make me smile.

The most ordinary subjects suddenly seem so exquisite...

...and my cameras make it possible, to keep those things with me...even after I'm home from my walk.
