No photo outing

I've been playing with cameras a little too much lately. I wanted to appreciate the camera that I have in-built in my body - my eyes. So that day, I decided not to bring my camera out with me when I brought the kids to visit the beach. OK, I did bring my phone, but I prefer shooting with a dedicated camera nowadays because I the pictures look better to me. So I didn't consider my phone a camera.  So my camera were my eyes. And my hands, colour pencils, pencil and a small box of oil pastels (8 selected colours) were the printer. And I took pictures with them on the long train ride and at the beach. I cropped the scenes like how I would frame photos. All these were drawn on location. Oh yes, this is the magic of illustration- I could draw myself into the 2nd page, through imagination!
