Only on the rarest of occasions will you find me
going someplace without my camera. I
have it in my automobile when I go to work, when I drive across the valley to
see friends, and even when I go to town for grocery shopping.
My theory regarding the constant habit (sometimes
annoyance) of carrying my camera is that you never know when an image or moment
worth capturing will present itself to you.
I am always admonishing other people for not having their camera when I
catch them without theirs. Only a few
days ago a friend called me and said, “You are right…I should have had my
camera,” and then went on to tell me about a missed opportunity for
photographing fall colors against a spectacular blue sky.
I am posting two of the reasons I take my camera to
work. I stopped along my way to Helena
yesterday to capture this sunrise over Hauser Lake. I purposefully flashed the portrait-style
photograph to highlight the grass.

The grass seem to celebrate the burst of light and color from out of the darkness.
