The main reason results from the fact, that I enjoy the _manual_ act of picture taking ... like selecting the tool in painting (oil vs water colors, a certain brush), or in sculptures, the material (i.e. clay/ loam vs wood vs marble). Let's say, I like to make mistakes as much as I like to be successful. Both belong to me, they make me feel that I live. I'd miss it with the auto-xx additonals. Maybe there's truth in the line, at least for me, that the way is the aim. I don't know, but I feel better the way I described ... even if the picture is bad - it's from me, it's mine, and it's not an automat who realized my success.
