Hmmm on he considerably younger side I had not

his 70's but he (and my mother) both shoot
thousands of images each year. My grandmother
died at her Mac in Taiwan with her Rollei T in
her bag and a dozen rolls he had not gotten
processed yet and my Great Grandfather shot with
his 5 x 7 Premo View until his death at 98...
Good heavens, but you do come from long-lived
folks! The issue is not the physical side of
things, it is just an ennui at taking
photographs. What is there to shoot that I have
not already documented? Oh, yes, there are
always items I have missed but the central point
remains: how dull it is to take your thousandth
picture of, say, a train engine or of an office
building or the like. To me, this day, I have no
real interest in taking pictures. Just me, not
you, and I am sorry if I seemed to be setting out
some sort of Universal Rule. YMMV, as they
always say in US car commercials. Despite the
bloviations out of Washington, DC, this is a vast
universe and everyone does things their own
way. Richard would probably be one of the few of
our membes to appreciate this, but: 'there are a
million stories in the naked city, and this is
mine'. <he grins very broadly, getting ready to
go downstairs to get another cup of tea.>
