Why you should always have a Camera

[Overread]

My view is that whilst its good to have the camera with you; sometimes its good NOT to have it with you. It means you can enjoy a moment instead of distracting the moment with the camera ( because then part of that moment is forever filled with shutterspeed/aperture/focus/iso/frame/raising the camera/finding the thing in your pocket).

Enjoy the moments you see - learn to write a blog/diary so you can document what you do see in detail after the event.

I'm getting bored of shots like that a member in our club is mad on shooting natural history the judges love it but i'm starting to hate it ( just another bird on a stick)

Admit it you're just jealous you don't have a 500mm lens for that leica camera

Ok, well I'll give that whole blogging thing a try - but not sure the mass whino migration of 2005 is going to have quite the same impact without photos.. {sigh}

I've never had a camera on me. Only a camera shaped potato. I carve the images into the area I've designated as the screen, then scan them with my mindtools given to me by my Adonis ancestors.

Which does put an entirely new spin on the one question that has truly plagued mankind since the dawn of time. "Would you like fries with that?"
