That's about my rate these days, and maybe four or five digital shots a week. That doesn't justify such an outlay, especially since I don't make money on my off-work photography. I know you're wondering how I can shoot so little, but I get my creative charge on the job where most of the year I take hundreds of pictures each week. Also, taking pictures on film gets me away from the rush-rush, deadline driven world of work, and away from the computer screen. I can take my time, and relax. My M3 has images in it that I shot in April; it will be fun to see what's there when I get around to processing the roll.
