Thanks for the article Doug. This thought has been rattling around in  
my head for a while. I almost never take my camera with me anymore  
because the pictures tend to look the same - water, green stuff. No  
doubt a testimony to my point and click photography skills.

"Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" is a book that has been on  
my shelf for about 30 years. I learned how to draw realistic  
portraits from that book. Although it deals with sketching, what it  
really deals with is understanding how your mind works. A fascinating  
read IMO.

I found it interesting that Paul Theroux would write a book about  
kayaking with no pictures. How tempting would it be to "cop out" and  
fluff up a narrative with a few sunsets.

Other dimensions to explore...
