I agree. I have also noticed a direct correlation between the amount of time 
and effort I put into a photo and the quality I get out. I recently started 
taking pictures with an old 4x5 woodie. It takes me over an hour to set up 
for a shot. The amazing thing about it is that nearly every one of these 
pictures succeeds -- only about 10% of my 35mm come even close.  Hmmm... 
could there be a connection here?
