We all have this romantic notion of the photographer: nomadic and wandering, lightweight, simple lifestyle\u00e2\u20ac\u201d extreme delight in making beautiful images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where does this notion come from, and is it a good one? Or bad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nobody wants to be stuck in an office all day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, perhaps there is the innate human desire for us to adventure, go on expeditions, and explore. Certainly 1000x more fun than being stuck in an office all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But is a life of wandering enjoyable, or the best possible life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you want from your life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The question is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your life goals?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you desire to maximize your photographic inspiration and output yes, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d say that a nomadic life is the best life<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a nomadic life, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re always on yourself toes. Your environment is always uncertain. Thus, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re always awake, aware, and inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot say that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m happier when living nomadically, but I can say I certainly shoot more photos when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m nomadic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
