Made this shot years ago while on the road. Palm Springs. "The Morning Ritual."
Oddly enough, I have more of a ritual when I'm traveling than I do at home. There is a sequence, a step-by-step process of showering, shaving, etc, which I do on the road that I don't necessarily do while at home. It's a familiarity, even if my surroundings aren't familiar. It's a way of staying on track.
It wasn't anything planned out. It just sort of developed over years of travel, until one day I woke and discovered I was doing things the same way every morning.
Once I'm done with the familiar, I can explore the new and different. But I start with the basics and work my way out.
