I would also say that whenever I go somewhere that I expect to take 
great photos (Sedona... etc. etc.) I bring my best gear and shoot 
almost nothing... when I am out with my kids with just a Kiev 35A or 
S110 digital and expect to shoot nothing I end up taking my most 
interesting shots.

always have a camera with you!
