I really enjoyed this post and the picture of the boat was stellar. I totally agree as you know about is being more about the people any interactions made is supposed to making a quick buck. While I make no judgements on people that game the system, it's just not something that I care to do.

If I had to give up some of the things that you need to do on your list of eight. Some I have never heard about and some I just don't know about.

This has been an interesting post to me and many others I am sure. All the traveling I have done, I am in the same boat as photography didn't interest me enough to stop and take a bunch of pictures. To me now, that is distressing but I did all that travel and have nothing to show for it come except for perhaps the memories. A wonderful post and I am glad to know more about your photographic Journey.

Tip!
