    Rarely take my cameras with me anymore. I spent so many years missing events cos I was seeing them through a viewfinder I made the conscious decision to remember them with my eyes. So I don't take them with me to weddings, much to people's annoyance sometimes, or sporting events or the like. I'll take a compact or a palm order on holiday with me, but I try not to be driven by the need to use them all the time.

    Thing is, I've got tens of thousands of negs and trannies and terabytes of pictures stored away doing sod all and worth nothing to no one but me.

    It'll make a hell of a toxic bonfire when I'm gone though.

    I reckon your right Ken, our memory is a wonderful thing, it is so I'm told one of the most powerful computers known? perish the thought it should ever be damaged to such an extent we could never again recall any specific event in our lives. A picture could never tell to a person the full story of it's origin But...


    MrB unless you have a USB stuck out your arse, ignore Ken and don't forget the bloody camera:D
