OT and nothing to do with Jay Maisel (long live his legendariness) but
...

its probably just one of those things that comes with advancing age,
deteriorating eyesight, a swelling internal visual vocabulary
supplimented by enhanced public acceptance 

the inevitable next step is f...k the shot as long as you got the idea
...followed by  f...k the idea 

On a pure creative level I feel pretty uneasy about the culture behind
the concept of 'getting the shot' anyway - but that is another rather
dramatic conquest story.

I put away my 10/8 camera and shoot on any old crap nowadays - took me a
long while to begin to understand what brighter people than I knew all
along -  that people see with their egos rather than their eyes. Egos
have difficulty seeing the midday sun  

how about:  - when you have 'really' arrived you just go home while your
clients go and get your shot for you. Now 'that' is worth aspiring to.
