I was seeing it my mind as it developed.<br /> <br />I'm not a big fan of planning ahead and even have a hard time thinking of what I'm going to prepare for dinner until I'm standing in front of the fridge with a light head and a growling stomach.<br /> <br />One recent experience where planning ahead would have made a big difference, and which is also a great example for your blog title, happened over the holidays. <br /><br />I went on a lot of short photo shoots to nearby towns along the Sea of Cortez, but I'd been there before and longed for something new.<br /><br />It wasn't until the end of the holidays when I checked google maps to identify the places in my photos that I saw a big looping highway along the Sea of Cortez. <br /><br />Wow! I thought. I could have spent several days along that highway seeing new places and taking interesting photos. I probably wouldn't have spent any more than I did going back and forth to the same towns on the same old roads, and it would have been more of an adventure.<br /><br />Well, at least now I know how I'm going to spend the next long holiday ... and I'll start planning now :)Richard Withamhttp://www.withamphoto.comnoreply@blogger.com
