(CNN) -- Capture the photo not taken on your next vacation, and you're guaranteed to make a memory. Like a bottle of "Dandelion Wine," it is an image that encapsulates your escape in a single frame. It can become a point of pride on the wall, or an image you look to when a case of the Mondays threatens to overwhelm.

So often, the camera becomes an afterthought in the suitcase. Think of it as a traveling companion, one to share every second of your adventure with. From the most exotic location to your favorite escape in the next town over, the world is full of photographic potential. And I promise you, "every, every inch" of it has not been photographed.
