LOL!!  Me too.  I remember when I first got into photography.  I just bought
a Nikon camera and then got lots of books on composition.  I was concerned
about learning to take well-composed pictures (HCB was my hero -- and still
is, I suppose).  Then sold the stuff at some point, stayed out of
photography for about 5 years, got back into it a few years ago and joined
the LUG.  Now all I do is fret about what damn lens to use whose soul I
could sell to get the 100mm APO-Macro.
