No Dave, while I'm shooting, I think you're looking for the next 
place to put your tongue in your cheek, right?! Seriously, the 
instant feedback of an LCD is both instructive and creative. Most of 
my "chimping" is done when conditions are less than ideal. It is done 
only for the second or two that the shot appears on screen 
immediately after the shot. That is just enough time to check out 
focus, composition and especially lighting. If "decisive moments" 
were so rare that we might miss one while glancing at the LCD, then 
we may as well stop blinking, too!
