“Don’t put away your camera,” says legendary photographer Mary Ellen Mark. “Keep it out at all times, even when you think you have the shot already.” This is the quote I hear in my head so often and that has made me urge camera manufacturers to improve their battery life ever so much more. There are many times when I’ve thought that I’ve finished with a shoot and then turned my camera off because I was done. But then later on, I’d see something that I knew I wanted to photograph for one reason or another. And that’s what we have to keep in mind.
