6. Mostly less than 15 seconds (for portraits or group shots. For landscapes, architecture, nature, city-scapes etc. often several minutes).
7. I shoot pictures because I love to. I don't really want the photographs. I just like photographing (I would happily leave the film with a lab and just go home and wait for my shots to appear in newspapers, magazines, websites etc). The best shots I frame in a 30x40cm paspartouts to evaluate/submit at the local photo club - or they are published on the internet. 8. Not always, but often (Naturaly, I don't go to a concert with a 64 ASA film and I don't shoot portraits or landscapes with a 1600 ASA film :-) 9.

Several (all related questions) not on the list, that I most often try to ask myself when shooting are: Why do I want to photograph this? What excites me about what I am seeing? How can I compose or render what I'm seeing so that a viewer not present will feel and see what I'm seeing? When I take the time to do this, I believe I see noticeably better results in my own work.
