I know you love taking your camera everywhere and grabbing shots at parties, on vacation, at the zoo and even the ballgame. If you are like me and must have your camera with you at all times then you have probably gone a time (or in my case 2 or 3 times) when you forgot an essential piece of gear or batteries or memory cards...at home. Yes, I have left the house with my camera and without memory cards. It's not fun. So here is a nice checklist of everything you might need to your outing.
Feel free to print this out and make some copies of it so you don't forget something important.
Try your hand at taking street portraits. That is taking people's portraits out on the street. It takes some courage to go up to a complete stranger and ask them if you can take their photo. But you will find you get the most fascinating collection of photos from the cast of characters you often find in your own city or town.
