It's not quite that black and white.
I snap away all the time - but I always spend more time just soaking up the places and the views and the experiences. The camera gives me something more to remember the walk by, but it's not the reason I walk. When the special things happen, half the time I'm too gobsmacked by what I'm seeing to remember to reach for the camera.
