• Why I prefer to travel with a sketchbook instead of a camera - The Globe and Mail. My favorite part is this: "One look at the sketch and it all comes back to life. Sketching allows all this. Drawing is to photography what walking is to driving: it’s more work, it’s slower, it demands patience and it’s something we’ve increasingly forgotten how to do. And yet, it pays dividends: The work is a rewarding pleasure, the pace allows a scene to sink in and be appreciated, concentration breeds a patient contemplative mind-set … and it’s something that can be relearned."
