Joe, 

Absolutely right! 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!"
