Moments to Just Do It

In our travels, there are times when we are so attracted to a certain scene, a certain view that we get the urge to take a picture. We hold an internal mental debate whether to just grab the moment and take that picture, or risk looking naive, or worse, like someone from the boondocks.

I often have times like these, and often, these happen at weird times like when a camera is not exactly easily reachable or allowed - like in the middle of the road while driving, or inside a plane that is about to take off, or a hundred meters up in the air inside a cage-like thing for humans (they called it a cable car, ha...) suspended in the middle of two hills. Exciting, but insanely distracting.

Often, the answer is to give in. There is a running joke among some of my friends that I am the only person they know who will stop on the shoulder of a highway road to take pictures. It's like that Nike commercial, just do it. How I wish we can also do this more often in life. You know, grab the moment and just do it.
