Enter the digital camera. Digital cameras have really advanced in both clarity of the picture as well as the ability to frame a picture. Easily downloaded to a computer as well, digital cameras allow you to take a multitude of pictures and select the best one that you need to enhance your writing. They are now consistently small where a good digital camera can fit into a shirt pocket or purse.
The picture allows the writer to save a scene, capture a unique feature of a person for a character, or get in close to see the details of something that will add depth to your writing.
