Useful Uses for your Camera Phone

Do you have a camera phone? When was the last time you really used the camera part of it? I've had one for about three years now and other than the photo I took and uploaded of my kids to use as wallpaper, I haven't been using it....til recently. Be sure to get the most out of your phone! Here are some useful uses for YOUR camera phone.

• If you are ever in an accident or witness a car accident, take quick pics of the position of the cars, the damage and license plate numbers of those involved

• I like to drive around my town and get landscaping ideas; sometimes I don't have my regular camera with me, so if I see something nice, I snap a quick photo out the driver's side window with my camera phone

• Before you drive that rental car out of the lot, take a photo from all angles; you don't want them to come back later and say you did such and such damage; now you'll have immediate proof it wasn't you
  

• When you return your rental car with that full tank of gas, take a quick photo of your fuel tank showing it is on "full" and also the mileage noted; you'd be surprised how often they charge you saying you didn't fill the tank up
  

• If you frequently lose your vehicle in the parking lot, take a photo of what row and section you are in; I've also done this at the elevators in the airport; some airports use names of animals rather than colors to show what lots their elevators access and for the life of me, I don't see how it's easier to remember an animal rather than a color
  

• If you have kids and are going to a place with crowds, snap a photo of your kids after you get out of the car; if for some unlikely reason you lose track of your kids, you will have an instant photo to show security personnel; sometimes you can get so panicked, you can forget what they are wearing and what they had with them; have them wear a bright color while you are at it too
  

• For those fashion plates out there, take a photo of that amazing outfit you just happen to see, whether it's in the store or on a person walking by; if you are snapping a photo of a person, it usually works best to ask if you can snap a photo (just gush about their outfit and most times, they will be flattered and pose)
