Terrabytes of Iceland

Why does a trip into Iceland nature feels like a japanese tourist tour? Why do we (have to) take photos all the time?

Are we afraid to forget all these beautiful impressions after we left a place? Are we even capable to experience a place just with our senses, or have we forgotten how to do? Do we take photos because of the idea of sharing the expressions with other people and our future-egos? Where is the line between the attempt catching an unique moment and the fact looking like a cliché tourist? Together we have been producing Terrabytes of Data since we arrived here. I guess we have like thousand photos of the stupid gaysir throwing up ...

Even though. Photographing is fun. Watching photos is great. I will never forget my time here. Photos will help me remember all these amazing places, and all the great people. So lets make some more photos.

But at some time we should leave our cameras at home. Photographs are just an image of reality. Just try to experience your environment, feel the presence of everything around you. And most probably forget about it again. It doesn´t matter.
