I tend to abuse my camera by just throwing it in my purse. There’s something about camera bags (unless I’m actually being paid to shoot) that really irritate me and take away the spontaneity. Either way, my camera is an extension of my body. I now force myself to leave it at home so that I don’t have to always document every moment. Kind of funny really.

Have you been to Shutter Sisters? It is such an amazing blog and they sell these awesome camera bags. I saw them a couple months back and just haven’t shelled out the money yet. They are really manageable and nicely made bags. Shutter Sisters are awesome too!

First time commenter here, but have been lurking for a while. I love your writing style!

But isn’t it weird, a bit, that we *can* document our lives? That we can video them, capture them on film and then replay them again and again, as though life also has a rewind button?

I’m considering taking all the photos of me, burning them in a big dramatic pile and then stirring the ash into my tea. Yeah. Of course, the digital age has kind of made that grand gesture impossible now, hasn’t it?

Damn.

What fortitude! I just got an e-mail with this camera bag link in it this morning (from Abbersnail).

I have a terrible memory, too, and as you said, the idea of losing everything unless I document it scares me. It’s why I write – and why I want to become a better photographer, too! Get going. Get remembering!

I take my Canon PowerShot SD800 everywhere. Reasonably priced, tiny, basically a digital point and shoot. It has image automatic stabilizing in it, so you could snap pics while riding on the back of a cheetah and they’d come out clear.

Not that I’ve tried, of course. Riding on the back of a cheetah, I mean.

*Grins*

Eventually, friends and family become accustomed to the camera protruding from your arm or face; they learn to accept that it is part of you. (And excellent photos ensue!)

It’s kind of nice having a camera available to capture special moments. When I was in college I took tons of fast candid point-and-shoot shots of all of our crazy times and at reunions people would always be so disappointed whenever I didn’t bring the photo album.

Unfortunately I no longer have that album and now I find myself more often taking pictures of things rather than people. I don’t know why. I have my camera with me all the time and it has really changed the way I look at things. It’s really nice to be able to review and reflect on those moments that only you saw, and then share them later with others.
