Whistling in the Dark

Over the last week whenever bored or can’t sleep I’ve been grabbing my camera and going for a walk (about 10 miles total this week). While it’s decent exercise and I’ve gotten a few good shots out of it I’ve come to a couple of conclusions.

First, I need a good pair of walking shoes. My sandals leave me with blisters and my boots (my normal day to day shoes) start to give my ankles hell around mile three. It’s just that decent shoes are stupid expensive.

Second, I need to always carry my GPS puck. Partly because it lets me know just how far I’ve walked but mainly because I like to know just where I’ve taken a photo. Sometimes I want to find the spot again to shoot later. It’s not like it’s big or heavy. I just need to get into the habit of attaching it to my camera bag.
