Inspiration
My friend Mitchell and I went exploring out in the forests on my property last Friday. We actually got lost (lost in the woods, ha!), which is pretty cool because I know my property very well. So getting lost was an altogether perplexing experience. We climbed a fallen tree, got caught trespassing and Mitchell got a soaker in the swamp. It was grand.

Go outside, you-who-is-reading-this. Go feel the wind on your skin and the clouds whisper in your ears. There is a wide old world out there; the land is dancing under your feet, calling your name.

"The journey is the destination."
– Dan Eldon

Technique
I took this photo while we were walking through some abandoned cattle fields to the swamp (actually at this point we were investigating a mysterious pick-up truck). It was pretty hard to keep up with him and simultaneously manually set/focus a photo, but I got it in the end.

I edited the colour balance and all that with Photoshop, then started playing around with lines. I guess the inspiration for the white geometric overlay is from a photo by jaaanet on Flickr, although I think I've seen it in other places too. I think it's really neat and I've always wanted to try it.

I took me ages to find the right quote. Glad I found Dan Eldon, though. :]
