We all must disconnect. No matter how much you love doing something, there comes a time when the removal of one’s self from the rat race must take place. In order to perfect your craft and remain consistent, you must break from it and allow your mind to refocus and your spirit to be exposed and receptive to as many new things as possible. Bob’s disconnect came in the form of a vacation. While on vacation not only was he able to relax, but he was also able to reconnect with the basic fundamentals of what it means to be alive, which is living in the moment and finding the beauty in things as presented to us by nature, without all of the posturing and posing. What better way to end 2013 right?
...The voyage will never be complete. In a world so vast one can never truly arrive. In search of tranquility Bob rediscovered a piece of himself. The saying goes “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey that should be appreciated”. Those of us who have adopted this philosophy understand that yesterday will not replicate today, tomorrow never truly comes and that change is inevitable. Therefore, we must learn to live in the moment. At times change can find us in distant lands exchanging handshakes with strangers, indulging in foreign foods and appreciating a world of beauty that we so often take for granted. Armed with just a DSLR and a single 35mm prime lens he took advantage of life’s moments. With sands as pure as the expressions on his daughter’s face, Bob walked the beach of Turks & Caicos taking in his surroundings. Remnants of home were present, often reminding him to pay attention to even the most minor details. When technology fails us and all communication must take place through words spoken, it is then that we begin to recognize the footprints that those before us have left to be followed.
