Do you take a camera everywhere?

The ever reliable hexar af is with me every time I leave home. Easy to use for quick snaps. Great lens too
 
Nearly always. An M2 and Sekonic L-208. Often times, it is an interesting exercise by itself to take incident light readings with the light meter, particularly interiors.

Leica D-Lux 4.
It's small enough to keep in a coat or jacket and light enough to wear on a lanyard around my neck.
 
I must.
I have even turned round and gone back home to throw one in the car if I forgot . . . "just in case" . . .
 
Almost. M9 or X100. Before that the M5. Just in the last few years. For my wife's sake I will occasionally magnanimously leave the house without a camera.
 
1950s to 2003 no. Now got an iphone and it changes all that.

Crappy? Low res? maybe but I captured some lovely moments of the people I loved at spontaneous moments and I will always remember and see them (crappy)
 
Almost always. A IIIc with 50 Elmar in my pocket. Small but capable. I have often wished for a faster 50 but the Elmar 50 is just so right for a Leica screw mount camera. Joe

An old habit of mine. I used to take that very same meter (or any other that struck me as useful that day) and "train" myself for different light conditions. Sometimes without the camera!

BTW, I do tend to leave home with one. Usually my momentary camera crush (either one of my M5s, my M4-2 or my S2 or some other that I feel like carrying).
 
I can't recall a day in the last 50 years when I did not have a camera with me. I always carry a shoulder bag, my pipe, tobacco and matches, spare film, possibly a second camera body. Just a habit and, yes, I usually do shoot a roll or two during the day - though not today as it was snowing/raining/slushy outside - so I stayed home, read and took pictures of a table lamp in front of me.
 
Yep. Usually try to keep one digital (beside Nexus 4/or whatever I have at the time) and one film somewhere around me at all times..

There's been times when I just don't have a camera, probably due to frustration or boredom, but generally the feeling comes back and I start carrying one religiously.

How much I use is another question, I carry it incase there is a shot, I won't waste it on nothingness.
