My re-action is to  the beauty of the available light! Where most "amateurs
and I have no doubt some pro's would have "popped" a flash not realizing of
course!!

"IF YOU CAN SEE IT? YOU CAN SHOOT IT! AS YOU SEE IT!"

However the bulk of neophytes will, wont, can't understand that simple
little. "if you can see it?" THING?

After all, what was it that turned Sonny on to take/make an exposure? He was
motivated by the "LIGHT AS HE SAW IT!" Hell isn't that motivation enough for
all shooters to make an exposure? "AS YOU SEE IT?" That's what turned you on
in the first place!

One of things for so many photographers is learning about light as you see
it? Or are motivated by it shining/lighting the scene and not being afraid
to use it as it is and capturing the beauty of it?
Cheers,
Dr. ted
