If only I could escape....

Sometimes I wish I could just leave.  Run away. Travel.  Escape.

It's not because I really want to run away.  More of just something calling me.  I want to be out.  Somewhere quiet and undisturbed.  If you've never seen Jason Bell's website, you should check it out.

He's one of my heros.  Really.  The landscapes are particularly amazing.  They make me feel small and insignificant.  They show me that there is so much out there I haven't experienced (or photographed).

There's just something about his photography that is inspiring, and humbling.  It makes me want to go.  Explore.  And just be.

And, of course,  I'd take my camera.

The inner journey

These are a few of my favorite quotes about travel.  They express what I think about exploring the inner journey through the outer world.

“Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by.”

~Robert Frost

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” 

~Henry Miller

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
~Ansel Adams

My photography gives me an outlet.  A place to share my inner journey without completely putting myself out there.  Simply because, “Photography is all about secrets. The secrets we all have and will never tell.”
