Great thoughts Susan, I've done something similar recently but opted to use the phone for when I'm out and about. You've inspired me to track down a small camera for this purpose instead, thanks!

Hey Paul, glad to hear you liked my little essay and it inspired you. You can certainly use your phone, but as I said, I prefer not to have it with me to be really „offline“.

Hi - and sorry about your wrist! The older I get the more I appreciate small and light-weight. Smaller cameras have also restored some of the fun and spontaneity of photography for me. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

Thank you for reading, Tom! Spontaneity - I totally agree. With my big camera I think twice if I want to take it outside which makes me miss pictures if I don‘t. And these spontaneous moments are sometimes the best. I am glad I have this little camera now.
