Why I carry a camera almost everywhere.

The wife and I needed to pick up some parts for our kayaks. We headed to one of the large east side malls. We couldn’t find the items and left the mall empty handed. As we neared the east parking lot I noticed a large hawk sitting on a power pole. I reached for my camera and started shooting.

Second, as I have said in this blog has stated before, “Raptors are everywhere”

The last place I expected to see a Red Tailed Hawk was at the mall today!

Time and time again I see Raptors in places where I’ve not seen them before.

Third, how many times have you been out and seen something and said “I wish I had a picture of that. Too many times of that myself, has taught me to keep a camera close when I’m away from home.

I’ve had people ask me, why do I always have a camera bag?

First and foremost is, “You cannot get this quality of image from a cell phone camera.”

When engineers figure out how to incorporate a 500mm lens into a box the size of a cell phone I will leave my camera bag at home!
