I watched a film doc with Henri shooting, and maybe he was showing off for
the camera, but he was hardly acting contemplative in his shooting; I was
impressed at how he was able to shoot the LTM camera, quickly wind the film
with an extended finger and shoot again.  It was almost like he was shooting
with a motor drive.
