I mean what else is there to being a photographer? I always take the technical stuff as a direction, but in most cases it isn't written for someone who is only interested in putting images of film, so the techie stuff I roll with. If I screw-up because I didn't read it or didn't understand it, then that is my problem. But how and why I hold my Leica R or M camera is just grab it and start making exposures. I don't even think about it. Man I'm taking pictures of the action and light and whatever is turning me on. I believe I noticed some comments about mental depth of field etc in this thread, "Ya right and so's my grandmother got a depth of field!" :) How can anyone one be so serious and say this kind of stuff and expect real potgraphers believe A/ they are serious! B? that they have all their marbles!:) OK I'm outta here. But Joe, you are absolutely right, the only thing that counts is the "PHOTOGRAPH & IT'S CONTENT!" ted
