I just flew back from LA, and boy are my eyes tired.

According to the counter, I took over 1,000 images between 3/15 and 3/17. 1,014 to be exact.

So my 'eye' has been a little tired lately. So much so, that Ive not taken many pics after coming back, often leaving the camera home and not missing it.

I get noticeably tired after shooting over 150 shots a day, such as when on a photo safari or trip. And with the expanded capabilities of the new camera - being able to roll a lot of shots with a somewhat casual disregard to storage and battery limitations - the fatigue hits harder.

Ive not been feening photography that much since Ive been back, but the feeling is coming back.

And this morning, Im feeling pretty good.
