I certainly wouldn't suggest that you wander off to concentrate on photography. That, as Seth well knows, is the kind of thing that can lead to despousification. ;-) But having an M6 over your shoulder, and whipping it to your eye from time to time, shouldn't be considered a violation of spousal/fatherly duties. I say go for it - it sounds like you're going to get pretty stilted stuff otherwise. B. D.
