Funny that another really common habit folks have nowadays with the advent of digital cameras that are using little LCD screens is how (especially with video cameras) they wander aimlessly about watching the screens as opposed to looking at the site or destination they're visiting. Getting the video or photo seems scondary to actually experiencing the site for most folks. ~Stiv Thanks Neeta, I appreciate your observations.

You aired so many thoughts that I politely kept to myself. What’s really funny unconsciously, whenever I look through someone’s travel self-portraits, I will quickly view each one until something of interest captures my attention? I guess that could be considered as rude. Being a photographer myself, I try hard not to take those types of standard shots. Yet, I too have fallen to the classic “cardboard cutout syndrome”. It’s a bad habit that takes discipline, breaking out of that posing in the center mode. That’s why I make a point of photographing at least one or two shots, of a particular subject or landscape. Something I can claim proudly and appeal to my artistic eye. Well, are we photographing for ourselves? Or, for the viewer who will later peruse our "vacation to exotic places" photo albums? ;-) Your blog about travel photos rang so true. You aired so many thoughts that I politely kept to myself.
