Many artists (even composers like Beethoven) carry sketch books. They are notebooks the size of a 5"x7" card, small enough to be put inside a pocket to be carried around. My cell phone is my perfect photo sketch book. I use it to practice seeing (colors, lines, etc) and to discover and explore ideas (does the reflection of the window make it a more interesting photo). Dorothea Lange once said, "the camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera". The camera which works best for this job is your cell phone.
