Hi-
I bought my first SLR (A black Yashica TL Electro X and 50mm f1.4 lens)
from a Photo major in college. He enjoyed the process of photography
enough that he would occasionally go out with and take pictures with
no film in his camera.
He did admit that it was a little weird.
Cheers
Mike

The discussion of auto racing legends, has brought to mind another way

spectating.
My bank account, or lack thereof, stands as testament to my being a
bigger racing fanatic than the vast majority of race fans. LBA is
cheap compared to racing. Yet, I have hardly ever watched a complete
race on TV, and have only gone to the track to spectate a few times.
My interest in stick and ball games is practically nil, and my
interest in watching them probably surpasses my interest in watchng
paint dry.
The weird thing is that this even extends to photography. I love to
take pictures, I love to process them, I even enjoy showing them
off. If someone says, "here, look at my picture", I'll happilly do so,
and can even enjoy a particularly nice one. But, it's not something
that I generally go out of my way to do, apart from the educational
benefit of learning from other people's work.
I wonder how many other photographers love to take and create photos,
but don't have a lot of interest in looking at them, even their own,
once they're done.
