You've offered similar advice more than once on the LUG... I think when you say "just go out and do it" you're ignoring all the work that you and other pros do before and after an assignment to prepare yourselves for the few moments of "doing it". Even if you "just do it", you should at least have a model of what you want to achieve and then compare what you get with what you expected to get. Your model may not be a "scientific" one with charts and graphs, but I bet you have at least a set of artistic standards that you continue to upgrade.
