No. Nothing to take pictures of and even though there some nice sunrises in the spring on the way to work. I have no time to stop, I don't get up early enough.

[...] Nothing to shoot in here but grey lifeless cubicles. :cry:

Same for my office, but I do take my camera to work for occasions such as birthday celebrations/lunches, the annual Halloween costume contest, and other holiday events. In the past two years I was also asked to take the holiday photo for the largest department in our division. I guess it saves them the trouble of hiring a photographer for such a small thing -- not that I am skilled and experienced enough to get paid for it, though!

I always carry one.

This one's taken with the A610. Saw the ladies taping at a local park. Stopped for a while and snapped a few shots before proceeding to work. :)

I happen to be taking it tomorrow, but only because I'm going to an event downtown during lunch. Otherwise, no.

I just started making it a habit... I work nights and travel between multiple buildings in Brooklyn, and setting up my tripod on the rooftops gets me some good shots.

Can't take it to work. No raise, promotion, or transfer cause I brought a "real" camera to work once. Didn't take any photos with it either. Never mind that people are taking pictures with cell phones and posting on the web.

Not allowed to have a camera of any type, no personal computers, pda's, storage devices, blah blah blah....Defense contracting at it's finest.

Some of you guys look like you have cool jobs, well mainly the guy video taping sporting events, how cool!!

I always have my point and shoot in my laptop bag, and I can't work without my laptop so it always comes along for the ride. Its a habbit I picked up from my dad to always have a camera in the car, in case you get in a traffic accident, you can get photo evidence.

Taking a macro of someones insurance details is usually a lot better than trying to find a pen and paper in the glove box.

Recently I bring the SLR bag with me every time I get in the car, just in case I see something worth shooting on the way. Its no happened yet, but when it does i'll be ready :lol:

Not sure that I would want to. Nothing to shoot in here but grey lifeless cubicles. :cry:

Same here except our cubicles aren't lifeless. I put up subway maps and have puzzle books all over my desk.
