Good exchange!

So far, three people I met recently, confessed they love to set up their
eight by ten cameras, look through them and take them down.

I was beginning to feel silly, setting it up, lookingat the scene and
deciding not to make an exposure.

Well, at $15 per shot for color film and processing, I'm not really tempted
to 'go ahead and take the picture.'  But, my seemingly perverse satisfaction
at setting up the camera, leveling the tripod, tilt, swing, rise, drop and
.... naaaaa, I dooon't think so but it was fun.  It's matched by others!

That 18 Lb camera, two pound lens, Brett Weston's tripod over my shoulder
and I just like setting it up.  Oh, I have a few exposed negatives that
printed fantastically, too.

Today, I go back under the Monterey Bay, Warf I, again. Ho hum.
