After a night of camping, I’m home more than a day early. The unrelenting rain and insects were enough for me to wonder whether it’s worth forgoing the comforts of home (and rest, and cleanliness) for a few new subjects to photograph.
I now have several mosquito bites on my body, about the size of my fist each. This is without any scratching on my part, and they’re steadily growing. My skin has always reacted badly to mosquito bites. I’m pretty sure I’d have to turn down National Geographic if they ever offered me a job as a wildlife photographer.
Gorgeous photo, although it looks pretty comfy for camping in the forest. I’d take mosquito bites all over my face to get a job as a National Geographic photographer if I were you…
Hope you re-consider that if/when you get the offer.
Love this photo. Sorry about your mosquito bites. I live in Louisiana, so to avoid them, I’d have to stay inside always.
Yeah, that’s pretty much why I stay inside most of the time too. I’m a total basement dweller.
