One of my most favorite details from the article is the use of Polaroid in professional portrait photography:
> I put a Polaroid back on the Hasselblad camera to start with some test shots.”
> In the old days of film, a kind of early “chimping” was still prevalent, especially on 120 film shoots. Many Hasselblad shooters, including Anderson, would knock off Polaroids to see or show the client 21/4x21/4 proofs.
Another fun fact: Ansel Adams shot President Carter’s portrait of office with a large format Polaroid.

Personally I check the histogram and overexposure zebra stripes when the exposure changes radically, but other than that primarily keep shooting.
