n 2016, I had the good fortune to take a trip to

Iceland. What a majestic, pristine, and

breathtakingly beautiful place. I loved it. I may

never get a chance to visit again, though—and

there are plenty of other places I want to explore.

But thanks to my aged but beloved Canon EOS

Rebel T2i, I have photos of Iceland’s Blue Lagoon,

stunning waterfalls, Reykjavik’s street art, black-

sand beaches, Icelandic horses, and even of the

northern lights. (In fact, our tour guide managed

to take a photo of me and a friend standing in

front of the northern lights.)

It’s not the same as being there, but I love to look

at these photos now, as I do with all my travel pics.

Nothing quite brings back the feeling and fun of a

trip like they do. So for me, the most essential tech

I bring along on trips is that old DSLR. (Take a

look at our camera expert Jim Fisher’s story in this

issue, “Going on Vacation? Pack Your Camera.” He

gets me.)
