Windmills of your mind - a photo on Flickriver

Photography as a hobby has come a long way. For some, it is an outlay for their creativity, for others it is a form of escapism from stressful jobs or challenging relationships, whilst for others there is simply the appreciation to capture a moment in time, or if one’s really good, a particular mood or atmosphere.

For me, one of the pleasures of photography is being outdoors, the camaraderie of sheltering from a pouring rain or gusty winds, learning from other togs' experience, absorbing new tips, and practicing new skills. Togs, as a whole, are a friendly fraternity, drawn together by the sheer devotion to their work. So, standing on top of a hill on a rather chilly evening after a shoot, chatting to fellow togs I am proud to call friends and sharing experiences, a line came to mind:

“Because at the end you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing the lawn. Climb that mountain” (J. Kerouac)
