a lost shot is just that — lost. | PICTURES | STLtoday:

I never want to miss a good photograph, so myself and many other photographers carry a camera everywhere — Call it paranoia, or maybe it is a shadow of the phase kids go through when they carry a security blanket everywhere? Who knows.  While I do not particularly need a security blanket — I am an adult (right?), I carry a camera because more often than not, the best photos come when you are least prepared.  Moreover, nothing is worse than seeing a great photo and losing it because you did not have your camera handy.
