No chimping

Time was you worked in the dark, your images were locked away on exposed negative in the back of the camera. You couldn't take a look at the picture you'd just shot, there was no display, tethered or otherwise. You just had to know your stuff, and get it right. Mind you, you only had three things to deal with: the ASA number of the film stock you were using [ASA = ISO], the aperture and the shutter speed. And a light meter of course.
