I'm reminded of the story about the composer Carl Ruggles who was found by a friend bashing out the same chord over and over again....."giving it the test of time!"<br />But as you say, whatever works for the individual. <br />I would offer this thought tho' - you don't have to have a camera on you to think about the photos you might take.
