A photographer must make a multitude of decisions; that goes without saying. Issues of composition, focus, shutter speed and white balance all come into play--to name but a few of the many thing a photographer must think about. That's what makes photographers such interesting subjects. They don't usually move from place to place to much, but, while more or less standing in place, they move all over. They hunch over, they tilt their heads to the side, they press buttons. They're very theatrical.

Of course, I'm referring not to those who take a few snapshots, although I enjoy that kind, too.

I have in mind those who come equipped with tripods; those who are in search of the perfect shot. And that's just where my story begins. But I'll tell it another time.
