Very cool article Ann, havent read Sapatas yet but will soon.
I am finding that I do both things. I slow down and I speed up. It all depends on what Im doing. When I am doing commercial photography, like engagement photos or family photos, I find that things are moving way to fast for me to take the process too slowly. I have to take hundreds of pictures because so many do turn out like crap because like in a band shoot, all but one person might be looking where the should be. In one band shoot I did, I took at least 20 frames of the exact same pose and in every single image but one, the drummer in the back was staring off into space. It ruined every shot and its something I just didnt notice until I saw the images on the screen. The situation was far too dynamic for me to catch that at the time. Im getting better at learning how to direct people but even so, with the last family shoot I did, I still lost most of the shots due to weird facial expressions and the eyes looking everywhere but where they should.
So this affects how I do my fine art pix, even when using film. I rapid shoot the first roll of film and by the end of it, I can finally slow myself down. With the LF camera however, rapid shooting is impossible. I am absolutely forced to get the shot totally straight before firing the shutter. I think I am going to bring it along with me everywhere and use it to get into the slow photography frame of mind before whipping out the SLR or toy cam.
