    My father, an excellent photographer in the analog era - often said, "The difference between a good photographer and a great one is about five more rolls of film."

    I jokingly would reply, "So the difference between a good photographer and a bad one is someone who can AFFORD to pay the processing on five rolls of film at the local photo store."

    Back in the film days, I was also hesitant to take shots - afraid to waste film and money on processing for bad photos. I had to condition myself to stop thinking that way after I got into digital photography. It took awhile. These days, I think nothing of shooting 400-500 frames during a 4-hour shoot with a model in the studio.

    Really nice work here, guys. I'm getting the itch to visit a few places again. I hope I'm not too late.

    I need to stock up on film again. I've also been very tempted to buy a trail camera. I know, cheating, but I'm very curious to see the activity in a few spots when I'm not crashing through the woods.
