Thanks to Paul, John, Wendy, E.R.N., and Bob for your answers. I've read all with a tremendous amount of interest.
I am just curious about how people work. So before this thread gets completely and mysteriously populated by chimney pots -- you have a SECOND CHANCE at answering this ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC QUESTION!!! (List updated slightly.) When/How do you take your shots? 1. You always try to have a camera with you (in the car or elsewhere). 2. You do studio work, so your sessions are usually scheduled. 3. You go out (or in) several times a week, month, etc. on a semi-regular basis to take photographs. 4. You travel a lot and mainly take your pictures then. 5. You mainly take pictures of family and friends. 6. You want to try different things and plan out what you will shoot in the future (over the coming months). So you have a mental schedule to try macro, portraits, landscapes, etc. 7. Your shooting is a very intermittent type of thing that you do when you are so moved to. 8. You do it for a living. And your take your non-business shots when... (or you never find the time to get around to taking non-business shots). 9. You grab your camera when you realize it's been awhile since you last shot anything. 10. Your photography is mainly event oriented (dog shows, car races, etc.), so it depends on when the event happens. 11. You have a "hobby," such as bird watching, to which photography is primarily an adjunct. 12. You take pictures mostly for the PUG. ;-) So your photography tends to be dictated by the coming month's theme. 13. You find you mainly take pictures when you have a new camera, lens, tripod, film type that you can't wait to try out. 14. Several of the above. 15. None of the above. Another answer altogether... TIA, Doe aka Marnie Who knows? I might get one or two more replies this way. ;-)
