The reason I dropped having a camera soon after the digital age arrived is that I'm a nutjob for compositions, odd ones usually, and I take forever to "snap" a photo. Well, what my companions invariably deem "forever" when we're out on adventures worth photographing.
All that careful camera work also takes me out of the adventuring a bit ... but mostly it was because people complained about me taking photographs so slowly.
So once photos became so completely shareable, I let others to the snapping ... and I stayed more in-the-moment of the adventures and fun which rightly inspired photography.
I finally got back into it ... no SLR, though. Just a point-and-shoot for now. Because I doubt I'll ever get back into photography in the same vein as I did in the days of film.
I've barely used my camera. I try to remember to take it places, but I'm not having too much success with that. I'm glad I didn't go all out on a really expensive unit till I can figure out if I can catch the photo bug once more.
