You are right, Ted!  If I couldn't make a living as a photographer, I'd 
still be a photographer.  It is a calling and I can't help it.   When I 
don't have a camera with me (very rarely), I am making photographs in my 
head.  You learn all of the technical stuff to start with because the 
photographs from the camera don't match the ones in your head and you have 
to find out why.  Then you just push all that information to the back 
burner and concentrate on seeing.  I hope I never stop seeing.

Leically,

Tina
