How I did it: I was always afraid of losing my casio exilim if I were to take it on a night out where alcohol was involved, but as of recently I've bitten the bullet and taken it with me everywhere I go, and I keep it extra safe. When things happen that you wish "Damn, I wish I'd taken a photo", you can because it's always with you!

It's a whole lot more fulfilling than relying on the photographs that others have taken, I see these photographs I take as records of life as seen by my own eyes, and I know I'll look back on them in 30 years time with no regrets. (Well, depends on the photograph! Ha!)

Lessons & tips:

• Buy a sturdy camera case!
• Always keep the camera in a zip pocket, not an open one.
• Get a large capacity memory card
• Use your phone if there isn't a digital camera around
• Be snap happy!
