As the conversation begins, what are the man and woman doing?

M: Did you take these pictures? They’re very good.
W: Yes, I think they turned out well, too. I like to take my camera with me wherever I go. That way, if I see something interesting, I can snap a picture of it.
M: Carrying a big camera around is too much trouble for me.
W: My camera is really small, though. Here, let me show you.

W: I think I’ll wear my red skirt to the party tonight.
M: Why not the blue one? I like it much better.
W: But I don’t think it matches my shoes.
