Just do it! I enjoy having the technical and aesthetic knowledge to achieve desired results. No matter how technically or aesthetically difficult. I enjoy knowing what's happening, mechanically, optically, electronically, with sensors and sensitometers and why I'm getting or not getting a desired result. I also enjoy understanding what others discuss; knowing the language. This includes also knowing when KISS is the appropriate approach. and When thinking it through, testing and working it out, is the appropriate approach. I agree that the "Photograph" is all that's really important. Although, for me, the world of photography offers much else to enjoy, learn and discuss. (unless it becomes an impediment to one's photographic production) Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist
