It's interesting, when I was cutting on a Steenbeck I could cut in my
head so to speak; play back sequences when walking down the street
and so on; but cutting on the computer I'm either in that world or
not. (Admittedly editing for me is often way more than 'cutting'
now.... it's compositing etc etc....).
A neighbor of mine recently got back into photography after her kids
went off to college etc. Both photochemical and digital. She asked me
one day, "does something like this happen to you ? When I print from
negatives I can think about how I'll do it even if I'm nowhere near
the darkroom but when I work in Photoshop it's either on or off........"

I just go get a cappuccino and sit in front of the local coffee shop,
I tell people I need 3 dimensional space and more than 8 bit
(monitor) color in my visual field ;-)
