Carry your camera--ALWAYS

Anacleto Rapping taking a photo at the Southwestern Photojournalism Conference in Fort Worth, TX. [Nikon Coolpix P7000, 28mm, ISO 1600, ƒ/2.8, 1/30]
This post has only photos from just me having my camera with me. Not my phone, but a camera with high ISO capabilities and flash if I needed it.

None of the photos are from a single assignment.

My point, is if you don't have your camera is when you will see some cool moments.

I had my gear with me when I took my daughter to the concert. I just offered to get some cool shots if for nothing more than just for me and my daughter to have.

    I love reading your blog. It is very good info.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.

But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:

One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.

Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.

Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.

Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
