I've been using soft releases long before Tom started making them. When you are about to put your camera on your camera bag, take a photograph of anything. Where you are, your feet, a tree, your car, whatever strikes you at that very moment. Then, without winding your camera, put it away. Over the years, you will have a collection of negative frames or slides that are "when I put my camera away" photographs. You could have a slide show of just these photographs, print a book of these photographs, whatever. It's a series. But at least they are actual photographs rather than the same old picture of the inside of your bag. And it is amazing how many of these "last photograph before putting the camera away" photographs, will be outstanding photographs.
