Cloud Sea

I know these kinds of images are clichés for bloggers. However, every time I’m up in the air and I see something like this, I am compelled to do some things:

  1. Grab a camera, usually my phone
  2. While shooting, realize that flying is amazing and I shouldn’t take that for granted
  3. Take a moment to recognize that awe is a good thing and let it sit
  4. Realize that if any image captured from this moment is shared, there will be dismissiveness and likely disregard
  5. Recognize that this whole exercise isn’t about photography or art for its own sake; the moment is about recognizing beauty, including the emotional drive to share the moment by sharing the photo
  6. Recognize the amazing technology that enables all of this and be grateful to live in this time

Sure, it’s super squishy. But that’s what happens in my head when I have a window seat, a sunset and a cloud sea.
