I just have to say, I LOVE looking at all these pictures. I grew up with a mother who carried her Canon camera everywhere, even into the 21st century when it was big and laughably bulky compared to the new digital technology. She always appreciated a good picture, whether you were at some big special event, or you were just taking a walk and saw a beautiful scene that needed to be photographed. So many people thought her odd for carrying her camera everywhere, but it's refreshing and wonderful to see so many people who just enjoy going out and keeping their eyes open to the possibility of a good photo. I love this thread.
