My mom gave me a new cell phone as an early Christmas present- it's this new LG chocolate touch thing. I had this ancient flip phone before and I'm finding that I really enjoy taking and looking at pictures on this new little thing-- like several of you have said, I find it to be a useful tool in documenting little moments in everyday life. Aside from it just enabling me to catch things I might miss if I don't have my DSLR on me, it's just a good way to keep me shooting and looking at things all the time.
I heard someone describe this constant picture-taking as compulsive behavior recently, something I hadn't thought of before. But this is how my conversations with my mom and friends are going lately:
Mom: why are you taking a picture of that?
Me: because I am a photographer.
Mom: why do you have to do it so much? I feel like you're not listening to me.
Me: because I like to take pictures.
Mom: why are you always in such a bad mood?
Me: I'm not, I just wish you would stop asking this question.
