I shoot more with digital than I did with film. At first, I was probably somewhat more careless, but I think the instant feedback has made me more thoughtful over time. I'm now getting a much higher number of keepers per day than I did with film and a percentage of keepers that is at least equal to film and probably slightly better. For example, in my first year of shooting stock, I used film and placed 40 images on the site. In the next ten months of shooting stock, I used the *istD and placed 180 images on the site. Paul
