What do you always carry with you?


Must-have items in my handbag:
  • wallet
  • 3 cellular phones :P (or at least the primary 2 gsm phones)
  • 2 digital cameras (Leica C-Lux 1 & Canon Ixus 850 IS)
  • mint
  • foundation powder

The other things are optional, but still necessary.
No wonder my handbag is always heavy :P

why do you bring 2 different digicams around? (i don't mean to be nosy but i'm kind of learning photography, not for professional purposes but just for fun, and i'd like to know.)

um, because...

it's gonna be long, so bear with me kay ^^

well, basically my primary digicam is leica c-lux 1.
the canon ixus 850 is is actually my mom's, but since she doesn't carry it around with her all the time, i figure - rather than letting it lie around the house unused - i'd better carry it with me.
the weight doesn't make much difference anyway to my already heavy handbag.

and so it turned out to be very useful on many occasions.
firstly, because of the noise problem on (almost all) leica cameras, i don't normally use leica in low light. here comes the canon. it works better in low light... and on various certain conditions that leica can't meet.

also, sometimes my friend borrows one camera for an occasion & i also want to snap pics around, so it comes very handy to have 2 cams (and this circumstances happens pretty often coz we hangout lots).

but actually, the main purpose is this:
leica (with the very beautiful colors) is for outdoor (or indoor with good lighting) photography.
canon is for backup purposes & low light (and also night) photography.
both complement each other, and basically i feel complete with those two.
i can't (and don't need to) carry my bulky canon 30D around all the time, since those two are enough & very satisfying for all conditions (foreseen & unforeseen).
of course, when it's time to get serious & i really want to take good photos (such as when i'm travelling), i will have to bring the 30D along :)

i hope i answered your question thoroughly ^^
if not, just ask again...

But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous..."
