My photography changed a lot after listening to a talk by Joel Sartore (Nat Geo) about a whale watching trip he took with his sons to Baja CA. Part of the experience was being able to pet the whales at the front of the boat. The whales were very friendly. He had a great time, putting his camera down and experiencing petting the whales with his sons. He also noticed a lot of people stayed in the back of the boat taking pictures and never came down and petted the whales. I have thought a lot about what he said, and made of the mind a few years ago that I was not going to let photography get in the way of enjoying a great experience. I now take the time to "pet the Whales" even if it means I don't get photographs.

I saw him mention the whale story on The Fundamentals of Photography course he did. Essential viewing if anyone wants to learn that photography is about seeing not about gear. ( I also like that quote by Cliff Mautner ... "pause and take a look at what you are look at") He is an awesome guy and a beautiful photographer.
