What was wrong with Minor White's "the camera was used faithfully"? -----Original Message----- From: owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Palcewski Sent: Saturday, June 08, 2013 9:45 AM To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students Subject: Re: Forgot to Provide Data Okay, okay. It was a plate of spaghetti covered with a sauce made from San Marzano tomatoes imported from the Vesuvius volcanic ash soil near Napoli. I used my forefinger on the shutter button, of course. As I recall I went to the loo about four hours earlier, so I was experiencing no discomfort. My age at the shoot was precisely 71 years 3 months 7 days 9 hours 43 minutes 9 seconds, and my weight was 142.5 pounds.
