(Arent you quoteeing teh person who made up the word?) I'd like to say "burn a lot of film." Get a Rapidwinder or Leica winder. Shoot a whole lot of film to get the shot, not just 2 or 3 frames. Shoot a half or whole roll! As somewhere said "film is cheap." Especially if it is a one Gig CompactFlash! But seriously folks don't have a couple of rolls in your pocket and three in your fridge. Pick up a couple, three four bricks of ten twenty rolls each. That will get you shooting differently. 36 on a roll is a great thing but if its your last roll your shooting style is much different. With "inventory" you can really "crank" with wild abandon and get the shot. Pure luck sure both others say "statistics" and putting the luck on your side. Mark (the crank) Rabiner I just noticed "Statistics" comes from the Italian "statista", which means statecraft. Statecraft means the art of running a country. So lets bring this here to be "the art of running your camera." I think "camera" is Itialian too!!. "Room" Also my American heritage not so PC dictionary says "camerawomen" "A woman who operates a movie or television camera." The did not have "cameradog" - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
