I read on another mailing-list something, which might be appropriate.
It went something like this: "You've got to admire the mind of the
photographer: he's in an unknown marshland, it's getting dark, he's got

first thought is 'I've got to picture this ambiance', not the
reasonable 'gotta get out of here before I get lost in the dark'"
Gotta get the priorities straight...food...water....pffth... ;)
