In my last post I mentioned that I didn’t have a picture of the woman I referenced because I don’t like to carry a camera. I also mentioned I would post on that later, this is that post.
Here’s my thing, first I do not like to carry any more stuff than I absolutely need. I travel light. I can easily pack enough for a two to three week vacation in a carry one, excluding ski vacations of course, all that clothing it bulky! Secondly I like my purse to be light also, I remove as much stuff as possible so it is really light. The reason for this is that I find that my back hurts with the weight of a purse on a shoulder. To some degree I have solved that problem by buying a purse that crosses the body, this helps on two ways, first to spread the weight but almost as important, it leaves free hands for shopping (I’ll post on shopping clothing later). Thirdly I would rather live the moment than fuss with trying to capture it, hence the title of this post.
When I go on vacation, generally I do take a camera and when I take pictures I do love to have them to remember the sights/experiences etc however at the time I really find taking pictures a pain in the behind. So this for me is a constant struggle especially now that I have this blog when there are many things that I would like to capture and post but I don’t have a camera with me. Furthermore, I just spent a bundle on a camera which I can use for taking pictures of the jewelry on Pangea Collection and it is way too big and heavy to lug around. The old camera that I have it smaller but the quality isn’t that great. I hate to spend even more to buy another camera for travel but maybe that’s what I’ll have to do.
Love to hear how you manage to live the moment and capture it at the same time, feel free to drop me a line and share your thoughts.
Happy experiencing…
