it's funny you say when,

"As a photographer you need to remember to sometimes put the camera down and just enjoy the views and other times it totally rad to capture a moment!"

as it's a reeeally thin line to balance between, and I often find myself not being able to put the camera down. in other cases when you enjoy the moment without your camera that you purposefully letf at home, I sometimes feel 'damn, that was a bad choice...'
so either way, it's just hard to walk that thin line and I have yet to master it...
