everything & anything

This morning as I walked off the bridge a minibus pulled in ahead of me. It had barely stopped before a group of Japanese tourists got off and began eagerly snapping away with their cameras at anything & everything - that is, everything except the architectural wonder that is the Clifton Suspension Bridge that I presume they had come to visit. It was a bizarre sight - the cameras hardly left any of their faces. It reminded me of how I've been myself on far too many trips to interesting places or just on a nice walk. And it made me wonder if, by trapping yourself behind a lens, are you really seeing anything? Perhaps sometimes it's best to leave the camera at home...
