I think McKay summed it up great!  This guy was a real genious!
His writings should be required reading...

Another possible option when photographing motion would be to move
the camera in the direction of the motion, freezing the subject
and blurring the background.  Many times this looks better than having
both frozen or the moving object frozen.  Perhaps it is because the
eyes are used to tracking moving objects?
