If the _act_ of taking a photograph is all there is, why bother with film or a
memory card? Keep your battery charged and go thru the motions, because
capturing the image is not the end product ~ being in a place of your choosing
to experience the environment at that very moment and clicking the shutter is.
In light of which, absent the image, it boils down to being a wholly selfish
act, doesn't it.
Sharing is absent, too, isn't it.
That's not being critical, it's simply an observation of the process.
Y'all are leaving out of the equation that he died fairly young of a
rare cancer, and was probably fairly sick for some time before he died.
He died from gall bladder cancer down in Tijuana at height of the
Laetrile scam.
Might have been kind of frantic towards the end trying to get it all
done ... knowing only he could get the shots, and could edit them later
"when he got to feeling better."
Genius has often been linked to madness, and it doesn't take much of a
push to topple from the former into the latter, so I wouldn't put a
whole lot of emphasis on his alleged selfishness.
