But a few days ago I stuffed my Leica in my backpack and went for a bike ride. This was pretty artsy and adventurous of me. How surprisingly zingy it was to ride around, stop once in a while, and frame all sorts of wild things through my camera's lens.
People have told me recently that carrying around a real camera and shooting pictures will shift your perspective. Not until the bike ride did I begin to understand this idea. It's true that sometimes you just want to experience life. But sometimes it's very magical to look so closely at whatever's out there, and revisit these images again.
So go wander outside, look around and see what you see. Paint it, photograph it, sing it! And let me know what happens...
