Lesson #1 – if you try and take a photo of a red red red wall in full sun, you will get a massive headache. Lesson #2 – you need to take the opportunities in front of you, even if it means ruining a pair of shoes by hiking across a wet, muddy construction site. Lesson #3 – you have an amazing family when they understand how you need to abandon them to go and take a photo of a purple wall. Lesson #4 – wear sunglasses for as long as humanely possible, or carry a tissue for watery eyes from too-bright sunlight. Lesson #5 – turn around and look what is behind you. Lesson #6 – stand your ground, and ignore the people who think you’re weird because they don’t see what you see.
