I meet a lot of people with ideas, few sadly have the technique to pull them off.. ideas are often thrown to the wind, techniques guarded closely. if I had an idea t produce a *really* graphic black and white photo but no clue as to the technique, no matter how much talking I do about it is going to bring it any closer to reality unless I either experiment like mad - and learn the technique if i'm lucky - or if someone teaches it to me that's my 2c worth anyway k
