Remember to Capture Too Many Images

Painter’s Pots, originally uploaded by jjvornov.

I’m finally getting around to processing and posting the images from the family vacation out west.

I remember thinking when I captured this image that I could create hundreds of abstracts at Yellowstone’s hot springs. But the truth is I didn’t. In fact i’ll end up with only two or three posted images. There was the family and my personal experience of place competing for focus. But I really thought I had shot more images.

It’s been rare that I ever load images into Aperture and think i’ve overdone it. Almost always there’s regret that I didn’t find 30 minutes or an hour to focus on image capture.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people.
