I'm done flying too. I guess if I ever am shanghai'd into going on an overseas vacation, I'll have to but I'd rather drive my 30 year old Winnebago 4 days straight then endure One day of hell dealing with traffic....airport...plane...airport....traffic....
I'm down for a rocket rail gun monorail electromagnetic bullet train though!

I'm sure I posted this but I can't find the thread.
This is a "candid" shot through a fast lens with shitty filter at high ISO so that the light points bounced and flared.

Art to me, is communicating a feeling or emotion. Poetry, music, visual art like painting or drawing sculpture etc. Photography does this too.
Bad art is boring. Good art speaks to you.
Taking good pictures is not easy at all. You need to be able to recognise something in what you're looking at and be able to make a picture out of it....using a camera.
It's easy to take bad (boring) pictures.
Visual arts like painting are easier then photography in a way. You come up with some idea and begin putting it on a piece of paper. You can add anything you want....leave out whatever you want....make the colors look however you want.....Take all the time you need (weeks, months). You can use whatever perspective you feel like. If you make a mistake, you can paint over it or erase it...or make something else out of it.
With photography, you don't have any of these tools.
When you paint, for instance, you can create a masterpiece from your mind.
With photography, you can manipulate your environment to a certain extent, but you're mostly constrained by what's in front of you and around you at the moment.
Timing is usually irrelevant with drawing or painting.
Ansel Adams sometimes camped out waiting for the perfect time/day to take a picture.
