The camera you don't have with you is useless.

Sounds like this is one of those lessons you learned the hard way?
Actually the corollary is "The one you have with you is usually the least optimal for the shot you are taking." That has more impact with the older generation of snappers versus the Instagram/SnapChat/Swipe Right crowd.
It's not always me in a hurry to be somewhere else; it is more likely to be my wife who doesn't see the need to wait for the scene took be perfect - whether that is the changing light or the position of moving subjects or whatever ...Then there's "You're in a hurry to get somewhere else when the photo op presents itself."

Since I have only one camera (aside from my iPhone, which I rarely use except to record notes & send pics via messages), I’m not distracted with other possibilities.
Yeah, my wife supports my photo hobby, but doesn't understand sometimes when I want to linger in one spot.It's not always me in a hurry to be somewhere else; it is more likely to be my wife who doesn't see the need to wait for the scene took be perfect - whether that is the changing light or the position of moving subjects or whatever ...
Wish I was. I just shipped out one camera, and am looking hard at my other cameras to figure out which one I want to offload. I, unfortunately, do get distracted with other possibilities, even though I know better.Since I have only one camera (aside from my iPhone, which I rarely use except to record notes & send pics via messages), I’m not distracted with other possibilities. I can’t have it all, I don’t even want it all. I’m long past the multiple body/lens photography era in my hobby.
That's the dream. I'll get there. One day.I don’t even want it all. I’m long past the multiple body/lens photography era in my hobby.
