Made me look back and think about how it started. It's not even a "hobby" or a "career" it's simply something you enjoy.
First time I've shot this year, working 58 - 63+ hours a week full time, got out and realized that it's not even about being "good" or "creative" or any of that.
It's about the enjoyment, what it does for you. Definitely was a good stress relief to get out, not only enjoy some driving on the more open roads south of the city, but pick up and incorporate a camera into my evening.

I take more shots with my phone than I do my actual camera... :wallbash:

They may I suggest take your camera with you more often or even buy a compact camera and have it stuffed in your glove box or something.

Can't tell if trolling or just really stupid.

I am glad you found the passion in your hobby of photography, Spencer. This is what it is for me. I enjoy it whenever I want to. I don't do it all the time, but it's something that I enjoy when I decide I want to take a few pictures and capture the world.

This! I bought a small compact camera for simple shots and nothing too serious (although it can do a lot for such a small camera!)

Definitely, small and compact works.
I have an iphone so, that pretty much takes spot on right there.

However I did grab one of the Canon Elph 300 HS's a few weeks back for crazy cheap from work, mainly for 1080p video in such a tiny size and the video format is records in isn't a pain the deal with later on.
