Photographology....

I was briefly going through my pictures to try to figure out which ones I needed printed, after sending a batch off to my parents. That got me thinking (always a dubious idea). I took 3 gigs worth of pictures and movies on this trip. For the non-computer savvy - that's a shitload of pictures. The majority of my pictures consist not of famous places or picturesque settings but people, hotel and hostel rooms, meals and (to-me) out of the ordinary images (see my Weirdish Images posts). It's the ladybug on the window of the van which rode with us for over 50km. It's the sign which implores one not to park over 2,880 minutes (that's 48 hours) in a particular spot. It's a shot of the half eaten white chocolate blueberry muffin at Cafe e Vida. I guess these are the things I don't want to forget. They are the demi-glace without which the main course would be a chewy, dry encounter. They're the oiled ball bearings which make the bike tire turn (and I am the King of Bad Analogies!). Without them I would just be a tourist on a sterile trip.
