Flying by the seat of... the car seat
This is why I veered more to the photo-journalism side of photography rather than meticulous in-studio work: I loved the thrill of coming up with a great shot with no prep time and limited equipment. It's the thrill of a good hack versus the joy of craftsmanship. Both are needed, both are valid, I just like making it up as I go along more than planning it all out in advance.
