Well, my standard MO is: When I see something photo-worthy, I take the shot. I'll go way out of my way to get a good angle, wait long periods for the right light conditions if necessary.

I don't just hose my camera around left, right, and center, just taking roll after roll of meaningless snapshots hoping to get a couple of gems amongst the trash.

The name of my game is quality, not quantity. Less is more, that sort of thing.

But don't worry, my crud pile is still a lot bigger'n my keep pile.

One o' these days, I'll have to scan some in for y'all to admire.

This could be somewhat meaningless imo. For example, I shot 11 rolls of 36
exp. one day at a wedding. When I'm on a 2 or 3 week trip in South America
doing mission work, I try to limit myself to a roll of 36 a day average.
Usually go a liitle over. On cold, colorless,
non-birthday-or-Christmas-occurring,  winter months here in Canada, a roll
of 36 would last me a month. I probably vary from 15 to 50 rolls a year.
