Essi, previously I used to have my camera with me almost every time I went out. Nowadays, however, I've been forced to change my behaviour a little, since my new camera (bought last summer) weighs a lot more than the old one. Also the dark winter in Helsinki makes it pointless for me to carry the camera around with me all day, if I know I probably won't be able to take any pictures before it gets dark.

Usually I don't have any exact plans for what to take pictures of, but sometimes there might be special locations I try to visit at certain moments. (That, however, often requires good self-discipline!) Most of my photos are from the same, relatively small area surrounding my home, which certainly doesn't indicate good planning. :)

Theo, you're right, of course I've taken some pictures also lately, but not so many during November and December. The reason is that there hasn't been almost any visible signs of winter so far - except for the huge darkness. We've actually had just one short period of snow here during the first few days of December. Normally I would have been bothered by weather conditions like this, but now I just think they're ideal for helping me reduce the long time lag between photo shooting and publishing.
