For a few years, I got seriously into photography - people comment on the photos on my office walls - your right - if you want to take great photos, you practically live with at LEAST one camera, and often more. I usually had one "body" loaded with B&W film (usually the now discontinued Technical Pan - if not, Plus-X or Ilford) and another with some sort of color film - Kodachome 25 (again - now discontinued - you can get K-64) or one of the various print films - depending on the effect I was looking for THAT day (Fuji = vivid Greens) various flavors of Kodak giving various effects - sometimes if I wanted strong blues, I'd load ectachome
As a slight less fanatical person than some I used to carry "short" rolls - 12 exposures, or 24 if I was not bulk loading - not 36!! Why? So I could change film more often - can't tell you the number of times I was 1/2 way through a roll, and needed (wanted) to change film
We used to comment - you know how you know a serious photographer? 1)(S)he always has a camera with them
2)They almost always have a tripod/monopod with them - GOOD photos are rarely taken hand held
