Great laugh...and so many phases (well somebody either has to much time or a very vivid imagination - Thanks Ed K!)

Yes, this is a very dangerous phase. I've been there too, but forced myself out of it before it killed me. Try some still life at home if you can, it will get you back into motion again.

Some other phases I think I have gone through already

- Only beautiful clouds will make a good photograph
- Oh, panorama's ...must shoot RF 6x12 or even 6x17
- Only fiber based paper will do
- The heavier tripod the better...
- If I leave something at home when going on a fieldtrip I will miss that amazingly nice scenery, and there should be a backup for everything...only to find out that most of the gear was never used...and I never before experienced such pain in my knees.

- I need more lenses (well this one seems to be coming back a little bit too often)

I'm only shooting 4x5" and have told myself not to go any larger.
Strangely enough I now have a box of Velvia 50, 8x10" in my refrigerator...

Thanks!
