I, by contrast, have to purposely go somewhere to shoot. If I employed your technique, I'd waddle along forever forgetting I even have a camera with me and I'd come home empty handed. For me, it's a lot like fishing - you either go fishing or you take a boy fishing. Can't do both. I either go for a stroll or I go to take pictures.
This is one of the myriad of things that fascinates me the most about photography... the psychology behind it.

I love that there are so many different approaches and so many fantastic results... all unique and beautiful in their own right!
As I don't go fishing, I can't relate to your position, but I think I can understand it! I'd be the one to go with them BOTH while SOMEONE fishes... and I sit on the bank/boat and read a book.
