[pct-l] Camera - to bring or not to bring...?

[Ed Jarrett]

I bring a small, but very functional, point & shoot camera along with me, attached to my packs hip belt so it is easy to get to.  I am not really a photographer and seldom spend much time trying to get just the right composition.  But I have found that taking a quick picture of something makes it easier to remember and describe later.  My wife, and a few others, at least pretend that they are interested in my trips and what I see, and having a bunch of pictures available greatly facilitates telling the story.
