Hi Rachel,
I agree with what you say. It’s often the small stuff that makes the trip so meaningful… and is far more likely to bring back a special travel memory than a perfect postcard shot .. .although those have the WOW-factor! I also like to capture the bits that go seemingly unnoticed… like a white pooch napping in the doorway of a house in Dubrovnik, or pigeons drinking out of an ancient fountain, or the ruggedness of old railway sleepers on a train trip, or the harmony of a perfect stone on a beautiful beach … the list goes on and on. Together, the impressive ‘big’ shots and then the meaningful ‘by-the wayside’ shots make a travel story complete and unique to the storyteller.
