" ' "You have only to start saying of something: "Ah, how beautiful! We must photograph it!" and you are already close to the view of the person who thinks that everything that is not photographed is lost, as if it had never existed, at that therefore in order really to live you must photograph as much as you can, and to photograph as much as you can you must either live in the most photographable way possible, or else consider photographable every moment of your life. The first course leads to stupidity; the second to madness." ' "
Italo Calvino: The adventure of a photographer in Difficult Loves

Short stories are great for travelling; the picture is the last one I took today before getting on the train, and finding the passage just quoted (they're the words of the protagonist of the story ...). 

So, another day of tight schedules and limited photo opportunities.  Glad I packed that book (recommended).
