Subject: [Leica] Shooting less

Hi Tina- Steve's suggestion to "shoot less" hit home with me soon after I 
got my first (slow) digital camera. It took a long time to write to the 
card. Having shot 35mm and 2 1/4 formats for many years, I was not in the 
habit of squeezing the shutter button and blasting away, unless I was 
photographing sports or some sort of action  When I did present myself with 
a plethora of digital images of the same subject, editing just about drove 
me crazy. One nano-inch difference between frame 34 to frame 35- that sort 
of thing. These days I shoot both film and digital, but I am conservative. I 
will shoot more film frames of important subjects than I will with digital 
because sometimes I... ahem ... screw up the film developing by faulty 
rolling on the reel and two surfaces will stick together. This is more than 
you need to know.
