Description: If you take your eyes off him for even a brief moment, he'll take off somewhere. He never unpacks to camp and his eyes are always staring at some distant place.

He takes photographs that would show up in calendars and postcards sold at tourist traps. The gleaming sun setting into the sea, dawn landscapes that take your breath away, people having a jolly time at a festival, those kinds of photos.

I guess his photos were so popular because they caught natural colors, like you were right there. He's had numerous job offers but he never accepted any.

He insisted that he preferred to just travel and told them that he wasn't interested in taking the sort of photos they were looking for.

Was that really the reason? Can someone turn down money just for the joy of photography? If so, for what does he keep his way? Further observations on why he carries his camera like his life depends on it are necessary.
