Post a Comment On: Exposure : Ron's Ramblings

We are finally home. This has been one of the best summer trips we have ever had. However, it feels great to be home after travelling almost 27,000 km. I get to a point where I’m creatively spent and no longer productive. I wish I could just stop and rest along the way but it is so hard to not shoot when you are travelling in Canada.

Let’s start with the negative so we can end this on an up note. 5 Least favorite things about our trip: Missing my mom’s surprise 85th birthday party. Sorry mom! Lori and I getting sick on the road. It’s never fun to be sick but when travelling it is especially hard. Problems and worries about the van. I worried everyday something would give out. It finally did resulting in a $700 repair bill and 2 nights in a motel. No decent photos of Grizzlies or northern lights. The incredibly long days of driving. Mind numbing really. 5 Favorite moments: The moment I photographed the barren land caribou north of the Arctic Circle. A dream come true.
