>There are cases where photographers were good painters and good painters were good photographers. Your statement is just narrow opinion---completely unsupported by any facts or logic. But there are no cases where anyone (great painter or not) has controlled a line within a photograph so intensely that we might call it drawn. Not true. Ansel Adams, for one of legions, insisted the the photo was made in the developing tray and he controlled that. And any digital photographer can draw and paint with pixels. Of course, that statement remains a matter of perception, which can be the foundation for facts and logic, but cannot be established by them. I see it that way -- apparently, you do not. And this gives me yet another exercise for the Miller test of aesthetic acuity: can the viewer tell the difference between lines made by cameras and those made by brushes, pencils, crayons, or engraving tools. usually. but it depends on the process. with digital stuff it might not be so easy anymore. thus counterfeiting has become tougher to spot, and helped prompt the redesign of paper money wc ____________________________________________________________ Make the right decisions about your inheritance.
