Just found this brilliant article from the Digital Photography School and thought I'd share.
It's all about leaving your camera behind and seeing with your own eyes. Once you are comfortable with your surroundings and got over that "Everything is new and amazing and weird" time, you can actually see good photos again. I guess it all depends on whether you take photos whilst travelling as some sort of documentary evidence that you have been somewhere (I saw this in China and Japan all the time!), or whether you are interested in creating something with meaning and message. Both are valid uses of photography. After all, it's up to you to push that shutter button! I definitely have done both, but am definitely veering towards the latter more recently (or I like to think so anyway!).
Right enough summarising! Read the article for yourself here!
