Indeed.  A onetime friend had been a working photographer for years,
and I always marvelled at her eye, was jealous of it;  but talking
with her about the nuts and bolts of taking pictures was always a
surprise, because in some fundamental ways she still didn't know how
the camera worked.  She had some heuristics she'd learned over the
years usually resulted in having pictures come out, but on a
fundamental level she just didn't get it.

Great pictures, though, in composition and timing.
