Apple has been making it easy for students to use their product for a long time. I had an epiphany at RIT and converted to Leica. Got a couple lllc's and never looked back. I had been using 35mm and a 6x7 SLRs and wasn't getting results that thrilled me. Usable pix but no thrill. I happened to sign out a Nikonos to use while taking a scuba class and got pictures that really pleased me. I can appreciate a well crafted photo but I get a real thrill out of a grab shot. My feeling is "Zone focus, keep moving for angles and keep shooting". On the other hand, I never "made it" as a photographer. But I keep telling myself that had more to do with marketing than anything else. Ok, Ok it's another digression. Sorry. Richard Endress rendress@mac.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/r_endress/
