I look at it this way, evertime I walk out the front door, I'm on an adventure. Sometimes it's a planned adventure and sometimes it's spontanious, but always an adventure!! The cameras go with me all the time!! I've learned, the hard way, that when you don't have the camera...amazing things are right there waiting to be shot, and you end up regretting not bringing it. So even if it's pouring rain, the camera comes along, you never know when a beautiful rainbow will appear?!!!!
I've been know to discribe myself as "the drive by shooter"  Anyway, that's why I love the diverse group of photographers here, we all seem to bring something different to the table, and thus, an incredible feast...   Akemi   ;-)
