I believe I read much the same thing by Susan Sontag when I was a
teenager. I don't know if she had an original thought or not.
OTOH, to have been that close to a shark and not have seen it because he
had his eye to a camera the whole time would have to be disappointing.
I noticed when we were shooting that we seemed to have a similar
attitude, which is it's nice to be where nice pictures can be had, and
it's nice to get some pictures of the nice stuff, but that isn't the be
all and end all of the expedition.
He does have a very good point, which is that if the sole purpose of
your travels is to get pictures, you are probably missing out on some
very good opportunities.
