[Leica] Shutter counts

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (Ted Grant)]

Richard mon ami, :-)
HCB was then! Absolutely of no relevance to today! WHY? As certainly DIGITAL
changes the  numbers completely to?  READY? :-) Oh I figure your first
thirty or so thousand .... "EXPOSURES!" MOST OF WHICH IN THE MODERN DAY....
"you will delete!" :-) 

Comparing exposures and numbers of images of today to the days of HCB and
others of that era is an absolute waste of time! Due to our ways of today,
equipment, digital and the various electronics of today!  I feel is a
complete waste of time! 

As there really isn't any relevance of time and re-actions of the
populations to "PICTURE TAKERS?" ie: "photographers at all levels?" Iphones
etc!

Where am I going with this? Truly, I don't have a clue because day to day
these days photography changes quicker than you can breathe "while in Heat!"

Besides all this number stuff is absolutely of no relevance when we look at
the "CONTENT-IMPACT" of the image!  Bottom line? That is all that matters
and not how many exposures on a camera!
cheers,
Dr.ted

Henri Cartier Bresson said the first 10,000 photos are your worst, so I am
on my way to making all the worst photos I will ever make ;-P
