The Point, Once Again, with John Weiss

I wrote about this last year and it doesn’t seem necessary to break any rules in order to write about it again. I urge you to carry a Point ‘n Shoot camera at all times. They are so small they can fit into a shirt pocket, a pants pocket, a purse. The advances in technology permit you to make an image of great fidelity, one easily enlarged to 11” x 17” at 360 dpi.


Capturing memorable moments because you have your Point ‘n Shoot is clearly wonderful.
You never know when a special moment might appear. The photograph accompanying this

text was seen while driving home on the New Jersey Turnpike. I trailed Michael’s head for about 20 minutes, hoping the truck did not have an EZPass and would stop at the toll both. It did, and I had time to snap off three frames.


Still, there’s another benefit to always carrying a small camera: you become more visually aware in your everyday life. It keeps your eye sharp.


So here’s to tiny cameras, sharp eyes, and great photographs.
