When you are frustrated that you've found several perfect photo sites to watch several woods, bogs, streams, & forests from a nice elevated point with the sun in the perfect position for lighting and not an obstruction in view....

But you keep seeing these signs "Stopping for non-emergencies on state highways STRICTLY FORBIDDEN"

...when you're out for a family walk and you discover after putting the camera down you're alone, or you have to break into a full run to catch up to them. They never wait for you to get that shot...

...I think the biggest change for me was that previously when I saw a beautifull woman - I imagined her naked and trying to figure out how she will be in bed. Now I imagine her in a square, trying to figure out what kind of lighting I will use to get a perfect close-up
