As I was collecting photos from my trip to Florida I ran into a dilemma.
I took this trip with ‘my guy’ at the time and his family and since then we have gone our separate ways but nearly all my photos have him and/or his family in them.
Do I post them because it was a fun trip with friends and just because it didn’t work out doesn’t mean I want to hide photos from that time in my life OR do I not post them out respect for the lives we’re living now and not to stir anything up?
Have you run into this problem before? What’d you do? I stuck with the traditional approach of cropping them out, but still there a some photos I’d love to share but feel like its not my place to post them.
Have any advice?
DisneyWorld in 2007 (notice my hair, its a good indication of those years)
After having done this blog I've also been able to notice that my travel style and the photos I like to take while traveling have changed.
It seems such a shame when I think of all the photos I missed or was too afraid to get (having to ask someone to take it, fear of looking stupid or having the group groan at the thought of taking a photo)
That version of myself is nearly all gone now, I have come to appreciate my photos and the stories I collect while traveling but even more so I've felt the pain of not having the shot I want & hate to think of all the things I've forgotten because I didn't document or journal enough.
Suffice it to say that I’ve learned my lesson & can’t wait to travel & document more effectively!

Of course it wouldn't be disney without a visit from the might mickey mouse!
As a grown up I always feel a bit goofy (ha ha get it?) taking photos with mascots and/or famous people. It's never been my thing but its lost its luster & authenticity I wouldn't bother posing for photos again unless it was a special circumstance.
