Well, I took it as success rate--how many good pictures over how many total pictures you took. With that criterion though, Garry Winogrand was a terrible photographer. A good photographer is one who gets the results she wants, regardless of ratios or tilted horizons. Digital has allowed me to get closer to the pictures I want, but mostly because I shoot somewhat more with it and because of the fast turnaround. I used to sit on a roll of tri-X for one or two months before developing it. Nowadays I edit my pictures the day I shoot them. j -- Juan Buhler http://www.jbuhler.com photoblog at http://photoblog.jbuhler.com
