That's a great quote!

I don't know if you heard the Leibowitz interview on NPR awhile ago, but she 
said her son was always criticizing her for not having sharp images and 
taking photos on the fly rather than taking a more cognitive approach. She 
laughed and then said something to the effect, "but his photos are really 
boring"!
