I'm an idiot

I am never traveling without my camera again. I don't even know what the hell I was thinking. Well, I do, but it was stoooopid.

I'm in Florida for a conference & thought nbd, I'll be inside in ugly conference rooms all day, and at social/networking functions at night.

I'm a dumbass. First of all, this hotel is sick (Gaylord Palms, Orlando if anyone has ever been here). There are orchids & alligators & turtles & fish & ice sculptures, and......blah blah. Also, the AAEP Foundation rented out Seaworld last night & sponsored a private Shamu show & concert + a live charity auction. I WANT MY CAMERA!!








Anyone ever decided not to take it & been really pissed at yourself?

Its happened to me a couple of times.

But since I suck at photography and still have the kit lens. I got over it pretty quick.

You on the other hand should be pissed. Seriously.

Yes, it happened to me two weekends ago when a friend and I went on a unplanned road trip.
I sucks, but you have to let it go otherwise you won't enjoy yourself as much.

And yes, I've kicked myself for the same thing. It's one big reason I got the SD700. It's so easy to carry I never have the excuse of not having a camera with me.

I know the feeling. I almost didn't bring the dSLR with us to Jamaica, which actually would have been fine. I hardly used it - we used the P&S mostly. However, if we didn't bring it, I'm sure I would have found some reason to be pissed.

There are plenty of photo 'emergencies' where a camera comes in really
handy. You could get into an accident. You could accidentally meet an old friend.
You could see something crazy on the street.

Pocket sized cameras are so small that there's almost no reason not to have one
on you 24x7.

At least you can look through and still press the shutter. :-) You need to get more cards they're so cheap.

I wish I had brought my camera with me today, so I could catch a few shots of the pounding surf today. Supposed to be pretty big out there.

You suck.




I should send some of them to my email & post them. Particularly the one of my tech.

Dammit, that reminds me, too, that they brought one of the Budweiser Clydesdales, along with the donkey from this commercial into our conference room the first day. I got crap pics with my cell phone. They had a couple out at the Seaworld event, too, but again...crap pics.

Yeah, that would have required me to be thinking.

A halfway decent p&s just made it onto my Christmas list, though...

Did not! I was perfectly nice to you. Except, of course, when I tried to get you to straddle the donkey with Jup & Loob....that may not have been very nice.
