On his blog recently, Joel wrote a post about how carrying a camera with you helps you recognize beauty in the world around you, sentiments I very much share with Joel (I probably wouldn’t be wrong if I said that it’s the reason both of us started blogs. I can’t believe I’ve been blogging over 2 years now). In any case, in the comments section for that post, a visitor linked Vagablogging.net in reference to a quote about traveling with a camera by Pico Iyer. Another quote I enjoyed from Pico listed in that blog entry reinforces my own issues with writing:
“Words are the way we complicate the simple. The deepest aspects of life are about wordlessness – something you can’t articulate.†– Pico Iyer
Ironic that I would quote a writer in defense of my desire to not write but merely show visuals 😉 I have such trouble conveying my thoughts without becoming really wordy and rambly. Alas, I should probably continue to try to develop my writing and communication skills.
