Even in winter, I won't wear a hat unless my face is already frostbitten. Gotta love eccentricities... :) Connor: Aye, there's the rub. Bigger cameras are nicer and more official, but they're a pain to lug around. That's one of the reasons I opted to get a small consumer camera, so I could take it everywhere -- more as a memory camera than an art camera, I suppose, but it can still double as the latter (especially with help from my pal Photoshop).

But the downside is I rarely take it with me (unless I'm planning on taking pictures of some event) because it's so big...

Fedoras, berets, caps. It's my experience that it does wonders for training one to turn off silly social inhibitions. Hurray for hats! A bit of advice: take to wearing hats. Fedoras, berets, caps.
