There are lots of photos hidden away on cell phones, but I prefer to see actual photos, hence a "gallery"
it can be on a wall, a desk top in the office, a book case or any other location although it is nice if the images can be shared with others.
I also prefer annual themes such as the last day of the summer, or first camping trip of the year. This forces me to choose one exceptional photo from likely several so-so photos
and preventing clutter.
Heres a tip on selecting a really good photo that represents your wilderness experience:
Since photos are purely visual, look for prints that evoke your other senses, such as olfactory and audio.
Can you imagine smelling the trail dust or cedar in a forest shot? Or the pinyon in the desert? Does a shot of a waterfall evoke the thundering of falling water and/or the mist?
There are plenty of photos of babbling brooks, but how many make you feel you're actually hearing the water?
You get the idea.
After a few years you'll have a "gallery" that will not only bring back memories, but bring a little happiness and inspiration to others who find enjoyment seeing where you've been.
