pichurs!

I realized tonight that Darling Beau and I do not have a lot of pictures together!! What a shocker! This is brought about by the ff reasons:
1. Both of us are not "ma-picture" kind of people. Nor are our families. So in general, we do not have a lot of pictures that document different parts of our lives. It may sound odd, but that's just how we're (not) wired.
2. We do not travel outside of Manila. This is because both our families do not believe in couples traveling and spending nights together (even innocently!) when they're not yet engaged. Hence, no traveling photos.
3. Neither of us own a camera. This may be a symptom for #1 above, but really, we do not own a camera between the two of us. Sure, our families both have a token camera (which largely remain unused, by the way, for the reason, see #1), but to take photos often, we'll need our own. Which we do not have.

So what to do... I realize if I don't act now, we'll end up with our wedding on-site video being composed of nothing more than a few baby pics, some pics with friends, some pics in Manila, and nothing else. We'll look so boring!

So, should I buy a camera now??!!? I figure this may be a small step towards a state of picture-dom. I can at least document our time together more often... or rather, I'll be equipped to (doesn't mean I'll do it, haha!).. but hey, a small step for mankind but a huge step for not-pala-picture me...

So, what should I do?!

as a certified camwhore, I vote for a camera of course! :D hehe. if you have it with you, then you'd be more compelled to take photos. :) So that means I think you should stick to the small point-and-shoots that would fit in almost any bag and won't add too much weight, para you'd be ok with bringing it around. :)
