I do think its a good idea to carry a small camera everywhere. One thing taking a look at the world through a camera does is let you change your perspective. This is a great way to see things differently. Look at this photo taken as I stand at the end of the street.
This is a straight-legged photograph. How many photos do you take standing up with your legs straight?

Wallace monument, originally uploaded by bobsee.
I use iPhoto to collect and organise my photographs but apart from applying keywords and ratings to make smart folders and slideshows I haven’t really explored its image manipulation functions. I took this shot of Wallace Monument in unusual light and it came out pretty underexposed. In fact, I was going to drop it in the trash folder but decided to see what the “enhance” button (the one with the magic wand”) did. I love what happened. The monument itself shines in the sunlight and the Ochil Hills behind took on this really interesting blue colouring. I like it

If you want to be actively involved in the creation of your own life you have to be aware of what is around you. A great way to do this is to carry a small digital camera with you everywhere. (By the way, if the camera is in your bag you will often not bother to get it out and take a photo, so keep it in your hand, or at least in your pocket)
What are you going to photograph? Whatever strikes you – whatever you notice. Where to look? Look up. What do you see? The sky, the clouds, the sun coming up, the brightness, hues and colours.

Petrol on water, originally uploaded by bobsee.
A more conscious life is a more aware life. A great way to become more aware is to carry a digital camera – a small one – everywhere! It’s amazing what you’ll see when you know you have a camera with you. Look at the amazing colours and patterns of the oil on the water in this post hole in the road round the corner from the hotel where I stayed in Aix-en-Provence. The hotel was called “Aquabella” – beautiful water?
