Now I sometimes wonder whether I would have experienced it all more immediately and vividly if I hadn't spent so much of my time looking for the right angle and trying to persuade my digicam to take pics at the edges of its capacity. On the other hand, I have a slideshow screensaver of a couple hundred pics from the trip which has done a wonderful job of reminding me of the details, providing things to muse over, and spurring me to try and get it together to get back there... and like someone said -- Aristotle? -- the unexamined life isn't worth living...

Getting stuck behind the lens isn't a problem I have, so it's hard to empathize with that particular scenario. Still, I imagine that in the same way I either post, or do things that I wish I was posting about, but rarely both at the same time, there's a way to strike a balance between the two. Good luck finding it. Oh, and bring on the wombats. There’s certainly a place for balance.

I do the same thing. You remember those binary creatures of Star Trek TNG who had little buffer units on their belts for conversation? http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/library/aliens/article/70565.html It's like that: camera as tool for temporally-extended presence.
