Hi Scott,

Just a cultural brief:
Henri Cartier-Bresson "threw away" his cameras and
devoted his last years to painting and sketching and
he did so very successfully. In fact, the grandson of
a world wide known painter who wanted to be a
photographer turned to painting thanks to Cartier
Bresson whom -by the way- was a close friend to Henri
Matisse. 
There is a picture by Martine Franck of Magnum where
Cartier Bresson and this person are painting together
in the countryside in France.

Regards,
Pablo
