I go back and forth. Usually I combine them like I did in this post. My little bunny picture has been sitting in my files for 10 years. I realized when I enlarged him that he looked more like a tame bunny – fat and old than he did a wild bunny like you see here. He also looked sort of forlorn, so voila, as story was born.

I notice it most with birds, which you can’t usually get close to. Once my Sony died I never replaced it, finding the weight outweighed the benefit.

I started a “Words with Johnbo” blog a long time ago and realized that my love is with photos and I can tell stories about the photos. >grin<
I haven't added anything to Words with Johnbo for many years.

You should send me a short story for Story Chat! 🙂

Truth be told, I am approaching that situation as well. A good phone camera is always with me.
I do take my Nikon and Sony on trips, though, for when I need features that are better supported in “real” cameras. >grin<

Confession time – I rarely use a camera these days, usually my phone and I buy ones with good camera features.

Thanks, Marsha. I did well in creative writing in high school. It has served me well. >grin<
