No matter where I go I always carry with me a sketch book just In case I see something that catches my eye, or an idea that suddenly comes to me in the stir of the moment. Sketch books are very handy in that they require no batteries or any sort of power to keep them going. For the longest this has been my method of getting ideas or images down on paper. I hardly ever gave photography a second look. Well now that my schedule has become more hectic and my drawing time has been cut drastically. I've been finding myself use a camera more and more. It's quick and easy. Just point and shoot. Not only has it been helpful in gathering ideas, reference material, etc. I can make quick compositions, color studies, or just about anything that comes to mind. While it won't totally replace my sketch book I'll definitely be reaching my camera more and more.
