In addition to Pentax K100D DSLR camera, which I carry occasionally, I carry Sony DSC-T33 small digital camera all the time in my bag to capture a scene or scenes of moments I encounter daily.

I have two clear reasons for taking pictures.

The first one is to capture a moment of my daily life. There are certain scenes I want to remember later on and taking pictures helps me remind me of the moment later on.

The second reason is to practice to capture the scene in a frame. Camera's view is much narrower than what human can see with his eyes. Today's media shows thw world through the lens and capturing a scene in a frame is another way to see the world.

Even for a scene or a moment in front of me which I can see with my eyes, when taking pictures with a camera, there are many different angles which can viewed differently, which is also the fun of taking picutues. So by looking at pictures taking at various angles and different frames of the single situation, those can be interpreted differently, which is risky sometimes of misinterpretation.

Anyway for those two reasons, I take pictures with camera.
