I take my camera everywhere with me. It’s a habit I started when I got my first job as a journalist for a daily newspaper in Ohio. Back then, we used film cameras and we had to adjust the fstop manually. Oh, and focus. My first months on the job, my photos were awful! Washed out. Dark. Out of focus. Badly framed. Eventually I learned. Now, my point and shoot makes picture taking easier. My son is trying to convince me to go back to the film camera’s version of figuring it out on your own. I consider it, but then an opportunity for a beautiful sunset from the car, (as I’m driving! Yikes!), comes along and I wouldn’t give up my automatic. It was a beautiful night!
