One angle to consider is that the tools (cameras, etc) have become much better than in the past. This means that more and more non-photographers are using the tools to turn out mediocre work. In the past they would not have even bothered. So the overall body of image quality would slowly go down hill a bit. These same tools in the hands of a photographer who knows how to use them, can become much more powerful and enables them to make more great images in less time than in the past.
The tools can be helpful and help you learn more or they can make you lazy. I personally have found digital to helping me improve. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, February 3, 2004, 6:10:50 PM, you wrote: HC> so that means you disagree with Shel since he said they are all getting HC> worse.
