I think about this saying often. I’m almost never without some form of camera; from my cell phone to a point & shoot to my work and play cameras. Even my cell phones camera is quite capable in most situations and I like to try and take at least one shot with it a day.

A few weeks back I dislocated my shoulder while snowboarding. This was not really a pleasant experience, but an experience just the same. Looking back, I never took a single picture. Both my good friend Morgan and I had our phones with us. I have no excuse for not documenting it and I feel daft for not taking a moment to capture at least a single frame. Only Morgan and I are going to remember what my shoulder looked like and I miss out on both bragging rights and the memory when I grow old.

Reflecting back, this really makes me realize that I would like to stop more and document. Not to the point that it interrupts life, but enough that I don’t miss major events.

If you have any camera at all, I suggest taking it with you when you head out. Even if you don’t use it, it would be a shame to want it and not have it.

Here an old picture of Morgan, because what’s a photographer’s blog without pictures.

It’s snowing. https://brawns.ca/personal/its-snowing/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=its-snowing https://brawns.ca/personal/its-snowing/#respond Sun, 21 Nov 2010 22:32:54 +0000 http://spencerbrawn.ca/blog/?p=146 And now for a couple shots you didn’t expect!

I’m planning on doing a shoot with this mask. I’ve always wanted to shoot with a gas mask, although I really don’t have a solid plan for it yet. I thought since it was snowing, it would make a cool shot.
