[pct-l] (no subject)

[scott taylor]

Hi Daniel I would suggest bringing a camera.  You could go without one, and always have  that  memory.  Last year during my thru-hike on the PCT I carried a Casio point and shoot and it worked like a charm for me.  If you decide  to take a camera don't worry about  the ease  of carrying it/access or if you  are going to spend too much time stopping and taking  pictures.  It will seem like a lot of time, but in the grand scheme of things it is not. Good luckScott

I'd be interested to hear folks' reflections on how happy or unhappy they
are or were that they brought or didn't bring a camera with them on the
trail. I'm beginning to question whether or not I really want to deal with
the hassle of it -- not the weight so much (though that is a factor), but
the way having a camera with one has of turning everything into a potential
photo -- the way every view and vista is experienced through the "Do I have
time to get out my camera?" / "Would this make a good shot?" / "Can't wait
for [insert name or filial relation] to see this" filters.

Thoughts...?

Thanks....
