Thanks for pointing this out BB.

Again, glad to see you all are finding this article a worth while read/look.

Thanks for the encouragement BB, but I'm not being too hard on myself. Nor do I want to hijack the thread for some pity-party. I'm not depressed by this, but rather enlightened. I'm still attracted by gear, but studying collections like this is helping me decide I want to find a "style" or a vision. Not sure where I'll end up, but it seems to me that we are all better off if we find individual vision strengths, and pursue that, rather than being wishy-washy all about with everything that's possible.

I'd never seen that Charlie Waite video before, though I've seen a similar one, and really enjoyed it. Thanks for both links - I'd read the Chased by Constraints the other day, and was impressed by that photographer, as well. Thanks flysurfer!

P.S. Bill, I hadn't seen your reply when I just posted. I really do understand what you mean. No pity party intended - I agree with you about clarification and figuring things out...and about us each finding our individual vision strengths.
