As Bio suggests, the "not listening" may be another issue. It may be that in learning photography you have inadvertently activated the dormant "Huh" neurons in your brain. I know exactly what you mean. I am always looking at composition no matter what I'm looking at. And every woman I see I'm automatically visualizing what angles and shots would look good for them. It is a sickness, but I think one of the best ones you can have. Even if it can get a little expensive. :) hehe -=>Donald
