I'm a hobbiest, too. An amateur, if you will, in the traditional sense. All I was trying to say was that I tend to be more successful when I have a goal in mind for what I want to photograph. When I limit myself with my equipment and it helps me focus on the end result instead of being distracted by too many choices. Of course what I consider distraction, others may consider exploration or inspiration and that may work for them. Great.
I still don't think an obsession with always being ready for any photographic situation is a healthy one, though. Just make the photographs you want to make and don't sweat what you might miss.
Didn't mean to offend.
