From an interview with Anthony Bourdain, a passage on those beautiful moments and how they feel kind of sucky at the same time:

I’ve talked elsewhere about there are times in your life... I’ll use the example of you’re standing alone in the desert, and you see the most incredible sunset you’ve ever seen and your first instinct is to turn to your left or right and say, “Wow, do you see that?” Okay, there’s no one there, what do you do? Next, where’s the camera? Look through the viewfinder and you realize you know, what you see through that little box is not what you’re experiencing. There comes this terrible moment when you realize well, this is for me. There is no sharing this. Worse: if you try to share it with old friends or someone you love it’s almost an insult. "How was your day?" "Well, we did three hundred covers tonight, somebody sent back a steak..." "Well, in the Sahara there was this sunset and you wouldn’t believe it." You know?
