Agreed. I don't have the patience anymore to wait for a good shot of a moving subject, namely my grandchildren now, as I was when I was younger when wasting exposures cost serious money. Nor do I have the stamina to print all night long anymore; my home darkroom was never that light tight so I could only print after dark and it wasn't worth setting up the chemicals for printing unless I printed all night long.
But it sure was soul stirring to print and view great photographs of great subjects. Looking through those albums now never fails to provide satisfaction, even 35 years after the pictures were taken I can remember almost everything about the how/where/why the shot was made.
