more personally, i have always been annoyed by the way most chicks hold a reflex camera...you know, the two first fingers around the lens, the others extended in an effort not to brake the fingernails...

Wow!  I'm not touchin' that one!

Personally, however, I take a more Eastern approach to holding a camera.  First, I find my focus.  Second, I control my breathing until I get both breath and heartbeat in an interwined in a complex 7/12ths rhythm until my senses are complete and in harmony (I've found that this actually works best in Glastonbury around the equinox).  Lastly, I drop my hands and let my chi lift the camera to my third eye while a Buddhist monk happily spins a wheel to select the shutter and f-stop.  It's worked well so far.

Enjoy...Trevor Cunningham
