All problems in photography are related to "dormancy." Not just with cameras...but also with working. If ever someone is complaining about much of anything--can't find the right camera, is photography dead, does film compare with digital, not happy with his shooting skills, not happy with his pictures, whatever--it can usually be cured by simply MORE TIME SPENT SHOOTING. You don't actually have to shoot more, although that works too. But getting interested in something, getting out more, running film, seeing more pictures, working on something, making some prints--these things are usually a cure. They cause satisfaction. They banish dyspepsia. Working always helps. --Mike
