Thoughts of a few fables and proverbs come to mind....
Aesop's tale of the dog and his bone....the old saying that the "grass is always greener on the other side"...and the story of the "shoemaker whose children had no shoes.
There are things to photograph...all around us...regardless of where we might be. Often, I too tire to find things to photograph....when I do, I take a break. When I come back, many times I see what I had missed before, and I have a new appreciation not only for photography, but also for the world around me.
Images to capture are right before us....scenes of beauty, scenes of wonder , scenes of sadness....Many times we fail to see them....as another saying says..."We often fail to see the forest for the trees"
Also remember...when you yearn to get that shot in that exotic locale....the person in that exotic locale yearns to get the shot from your backyard.....
In youth, we learn....with age, we understand.
