You're in good company.  When I had breakfast with Tim Page I asked him why he
shoots color transparency.  "Because I just can't wait to get the film back from
the lab and sit in the living room with a projector and see the slides big on the
screen.  It's better than sex."

I'm not sure I agree with his final analysis.  Either I've been pretty fortunate
or I don't shoot images as powerful as his.  Let me guess.....

Maybe it's cause I don't have a Leitz projector.
