Photography: Pleasure or Embarrassment?

Ketchikan, Alaska

I had been sick for two days when we arrived in Ketchikan. I only took a handful of pictures, all of them using the auto setting and not much thought about composition. I barely made it back to the ship after having only walked around for about an hour. But, I still recall my trip to Alaska with pleasure.

"Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure."
