Attention to detail matters, Gene:  note the 
spelling of my name.  An affectation it may be, 
but it is still my own preference.

I possibly overspoke.  I have done more than a 
few professional shoots and these really have 
been a lot simpler to do than has been the 
writing of a book.  But, then, our experiences 
are our own and are unique.  So, no, my remark 
was not "off base" at all, but it might not be as universal as I suggested.
