I find a new chemical technique and share it, boring the neophytes but nonetheless.. there is no trolling going on. I find some new development in technology and share it, some snippet like that macs are soon to be using intel processors and that again is boring the crap out of the film shooters, but it's still of interest to some who use the *other* media users.. then a link to some dude comes to me about a guy who wins a top press award, supposedly standing out above all other photographers in a certain instance having taken a sole image at an event that seperates it's self from the masses of others - and it's an anachronism.. you think someone might be interested? You think someone else out there, struggling to compete who might be looking for an edge might be curious about *why* ? maybe someones out there shooting mf or lf and they're in a quandry as to whether to bow to the pressure from friends, family, pros and markettinf, or should they stick with something they like and deal with feeling like they've been left behind a bit OK it's not about digital. must be a troll.. k btw, thanks to the member who replied off list in support :-)
