I don't know if Andy will be responding to questions, but just in case ...

Regarding your comment about the relationship with the subject being
more important than the technical specifications of the camera, correct
me if I am wrong, but didn't the continuous shooting performance of the
camera have much to do with the capture of all the images on this page
(with the possible exception of the one at the top of the page )?

Regarding your comments of other photographers compromising their
ethics and respect for nature to remain commercially viable, could you
please elaborate on this a bit more?

BTW, I thought "real" photographers drank whiskey.

Just so there is no confusion, the page to which I was referring was
the interview page, not the comment page (which normally appears
on the same page as the article).

I, too, find that statement about technical specs being less important than relationship with the subject a little odd! I think he was trying to get the point across that the more you study your suject, the better chance you will have to get the shot. I do alot of bird shots and always wait till one takes a poop, that means that within a fraction of a second that bird will fly away, and those outstretched wings are about to unfold.
Wow! awesome photos! Suddenly I feel so inadequate!!
BTW, I can't figure out how whisky, or alcohol in general, figures into any "real" advice, unless it's for medicinal reasons after being mauled by a grizzly!
