I've recently hit on the idea that photography is a lot like music: taking
pictures is a lot like playing an instrument.  Unless you practice at it
constantly, you forget important nuances, you loose the 'flow'.

I firmly believe that the major difference between a good photographer and a
mediocre photographer is the difference between five rolls per week and five
weeks per roll.
