I took a printing class with John Sexton, and remember him saying that 
Ansel would keep famous prints that had some small defect.  An 
unsuspecting student would show up and ask for a critique - Ansel would 
study the print and ask someone to bring him his Moonrise for 
comparison.  After a little more study he would announce that he would 
never print again after seeing the student's work, and rip the Moonrise 
to shreds.  How great would that be?
