Jan’s answer is below: Hi Julie - I was hoping for a bit more than a snappy answer sending me to a website. The PF list is supposed to be for education and to do that, the members have to go beyond the pat answer. Photography is an incredibly complex and difficult profession even if one is working in a lab like yours rather than bouncing around the world from one assignment to another. The digital camera has not made photography easier and really has added exponentially to the number of self-serving idiots in the field. I don’t think you’re one, nor do I see Andrew Sharpe as one either. People confuse the object of taking pictures (to document, interpret, and make a different product than what is seen by the photographer) with what the digital box can do. As ornery as Andrew Sharpe can be, he does take some amazing pictures of plant life and leaves. I have a friend who says Google has made us all so smart that we’ve become smartasses. I believe smartass answers are everywhere, even on the PF list. Learning how to do more than push a button on a 5Ds, any film camera, or the specialized tools available to labs, is a long and intense project. Anybody applying for that job at your place will have to be aware of that. best, Jan
