Top five reasons not to take photographs today: 

5.”It’s too hot outside.” Now, I will agree that when it is 108° outside is not a good time to be standing in the sun working over a tripod. But, there are plenty of good photos in museums, the capitol, some zoos (like Henry Doorly), indoor sporting events, etc. And, there’s always table-top, still-life photography that you can do right in your own home. Plus, don’t forget early morning (once you’re up it’s really quite nice; it’s the first step that is difficult), and late afternoon. Finally, there’s always night photography (just be careful of your surroundings, and take a friend to watch your back).
