It was almost eight years ago that I took a nasty fall on ice in Alaska. I made it home but was in a ton of pain for weeks. It took a while to get back into the swing of things but I started with, out of necessity, carrying less equipment and getting back to basics.

Funny thing. When I lightened up I had more fun. I didn't shoot quite as many images as I had in the past but for some reason I got some arguably decent shots and had fun in the process.

Carrying less of a load was more than just being less painful. It freed me up to concentrate on what's important and I saw an improvement in my images. So, if you want better outcomes and less pain, maybe -- just maybe -- the trick is to lighten up.
