Something that is not always the case when you're getting paid to make
pictures. To express this as your first criteria for photography is
truely a
blessing . . .

And therein lies one of the great enigmas of the common practice of
photography. Pros often feel the way you just expressed, and yet
amateurs, who possess this precious freedom, can think of no better
ambition than to want to shoot like pros.

A sorrow and a pity, generally.
