Moments are fleeting

Moments come in and out of our lives like fireflies glowing for the briefest of time on a dark night before disappearing into the black.

Some cameras are just better suited to the moment than are other cameras.
Two opposite types enabled the attached.
"Events camera" and lens is big and clunky but I *know* Im gonna use it, cuz its an event. So big and clunky is OK.
"Travel camera" is significant in that if the "Events camera" were all I owned then the "Travel camera" pix would simply not exist.
"Travel camera" is most defintely NOT a "Pocket camera". I tried a "One Inch" and found I might as well use a phone. Either option sux but phone is already on hand.

Works for me ... no way gonna hit that book.
I have a mild case of disagreement with the quotes title, and since I am my own highest authority in all such matters Ill never give a ratzazz whaz in somebody elses book on it !
FWIW, I am NOT suggesting that everyone should shun such books. No need of that. If someone already knows that they are their own highest authority, they can shun it or read it as amusement depending upon their share of spare time.
And for those not captaining their own ship ?
A resounding, and loaded, "No Comment".

Some of those moments should be treasured - thank goodness for the amateur photographer.

That hilarious little book is so 1940s or early '50s. It's such an easy era to mock, from today's perspective.
Somewhere, I still have the Boy Scout Photography Merit Badge book from the 1960s. It was thoroughly ridiculous, written in 1956 or so, and still in use when my Dad bought it for me in '66.

And you have referenced the original, which no doubt contains all the basics that are needed to make good pictures today. Technology changes but those fundamental principles do not change.

I didn’t know you were a Boy Scout. I was a Webelos Den Leader for Troop 193 many years ago. We were based in St Thomas Aquinas RC Church. Msgr. Lyons was a terrific man whose advice was always helpful. As Scoutmaster it was great fun helping a handful of boys and turning them into men.
That Photography Merit Badge Book needs to be brought into the Modern Era!
