I'm in the same boat as Michelle (gonna have to stop these fantasies), my digi records the details. I found note-making more useful for those odd times I didn't have the camera with me, so I could remember what I liked the look of to go back to. Only problem there was all the notepads I had were either so small they got lost or battered to death in among the junk in my pockets or too big to carry around constantly. The solution? one of those little digital voice recorders - it holds about 3 mins, more than enough, and I can take it anywhere. Well recommended. Plus if there's nothing to rest on, in a hurry, no pencil sharpener etc etc it beats the hell out of a pad. (",)
