Though he took quite a bit more shots during a year than a causal snap shooter would and more intensely. A film I saw of him in San Francisco in Oct 2005 showed him shooting fast. Faster than any shooter I've ever seen. By far. That fact that he wasn't bothering centering a needle might have helped. But it looked like the thing was being played in fast motion. Under cranked. I think They call it.
