i hate traveling with people like you

so maybe you should travel alone

you are either in Hawaii, etc. to experience it and have a good time, or you are there to take photos. if taking photos of a place is you idea of having a good time, then you are in a very small minority of people and those types of people are the only ones you should travel with

i go to a place to experience it and record the memories in my mind. if an opportunity presents itself to take a picture, i might... i.e. photos fit around activities and experience, not the other way around

ill take this quote of yours:

I'm in beautiful Hawaii and I can't get off a single decent artistic shot because I simply don't have enough time.

and attempt to reword it as the other people in your trip might feel:

"I'm in beautiful Hawaii and I can't enjoy this [insert activity here] because this guy keeps wanting to stop and take pictures"

when taking a picture gets in the way of living your life (in this case enjoying a vacation), then that annoys me

I agree completely. The things that I like to do when I travel are best done alone. Photography requires a lot of time and patience and *interest*, and IMO will not work with others whose interests are not the same.

Unfortunately for me, I'm outnumbered 35 to 1 on the trip, which means I have to sacrifice what I feel is fun for the rest of the group. Trust me, other people are not annoyed with me because they don't need to wait up for me. I'm always catching up to them.
