You are So right! (Doesn't this sound silly?) You can take A LOT of pictures, GUILT FREE. And the way you learn to shoot, well let's say the fastest and bestest way for most people, is to shoot a lot, comfortably. Practice, practice, practice. Then you get extended into the machine, and it to you. It's a wedding. Time to get married. Techie and I had a standard digital (non-Sony non-floppy) at the rust rail site last night, and we were grateful we did, but he only had 11 pictures left. If we'd had a Sony, we could have shot 200 pics and erased 95% of them. So you shoot. And shoot. And no matter how good you are, number of shots increases likelihood of a killer in there. You can afford to experiment, too. There's no such thing as wasting film. And you see the result; on the screen, immediately, so you KNOW WHAT YOU GOT. No "guessing." You shoot til you get it. You don't have to return to the scene after finding out in developing that you didn't get it at all. Awesome, baby. Awesome. These machines will change the culture. I'm serious. Literally modify American aesthete. (You know; or however you say that.)

Ya think we can convince Rambi to get one? Ish needs one too. He really does. He's got the time and places and eye to use it. You listnin, Ish? And what about our Parents, here? Lather and Coby? X? And what about Their Parents, who can get pictures at urls? Or printed on the printer? JEEPERS! C'mon, people. I could see missing out on this if we couldn't afford it. But we've finally reached the beginning of that phase where you look back and say shoulda done it sooner. Every person alive could have one of these and it might make a better world. Prettier, I mean. Happier. You know, optimistically speaking. Hope springs eternal. Ya know.
