This assumes, however, that we are not generating so much stuff that there will be plenty of stuff for historians to look at. (We probably generate enough paper stuff alone to keep thee future guys busy for ever.) If the digital stuff survives at all, they'll have plenty; if it doesn't, then

True, yet you passed judgment without an explanation. So, imo, it's not a critique, just an opinion. And there's nothing wrong with expressing an opinion, nothing at all. In fact, you yourself note that your comments were just an opinion. BTW, thanks for you far more in depth critique ... LOL

It's not as if someone else has taken over the list or that anyone is actively suppressing film talk. As someone here mentioned once, any hobby magazine starts to run out of new things to teach you every few years. The richest source of new data, techniques, and general news is digital, so of

Gee, Bill, I though the reflection of the barber pole in the mirror kind of made the shot. Also that sink helps show that this is an old, old barber shop. In fact if you look at it the only thing in this photo that shows it wasn't taken 50 years ago is the plastic product containers on the

It seems to me that most hurled darts at Boris had to do with flash. The Available Light contingency smote him. That's kinda bad. I've seen a LOT of available light photos that I don't think much of. But I thought GrayWolf was both brave (Old?) and kind in his review. Keith Whaley wrote:

Right. and yes film res and lens res combine to give a lower lens on film res. Digital sensors are different than film in that the diagonal and horizontal and vertical film resolutions are all the same, not true for most digisensors... JCO
