Since the inception of "The Nib" here at B&B I've always had something in my pocket to write on. The dot paper version of the Field Notes are very tempting Doug. Lately I've been using 3" x 5" cards and a shirt pocket briefcase. I like this system as I just carry what I need rather than having a notebook with a few months worth of stuff I've dealt with and crossed off my list. Then again I seem to be getting back into photography . . . and yes I like to take notes about what I've taken pictures of.
