Letting the images slip by... |

I've been living in Brussels for a couple of months, and try to explore as much as I can the streets around where I live.
As you may know, Brussels was one of the main centers of the "Art Nouveau" movement at the beginning of the 20th century, and in some parts of the city there are many very nice Art Nouveau buildings. I happen to be a great fan of Art Nouveau, so my walks around Brussels are often punctuated by architectural stops to admire some house or another.
Oftentimes I'm taken by some detail, and would love to have an image of it, a real good 4x5 image of it, but I can't, simply because I don't carry my 4x5 with me at all times (maybe I should start doing that...). In fact nowadays I don't have a camera on me at all times like I once did, and I really think I should start doing that again. Now, here comes the tricky part: I would need a digital camera to use it as a notepad, taking notes of what images I want to do with a proper camera and then come back later...
I'm an equipment junkie, so I need a camera with "numbers" that I like, but there seems to be a void around the numbers I like : no one bothers to make camera with the right numbers ! I'm probably just too demanding, and should just take the cheapest, smallest camera and be done with it, it's just a notepad after all, right ?
That's what happens when I don't use my cameras enough, I think I need another one, you know, one that I'd actually use...
I'm sure I'm not the only one with this sort of dilemma... |
