They have no heart either. They're completely objective. (***IMO***) Don't confuse not having any 'heart' with not having any talent. The shot you referred to <http://www.walteromalley.com/hist_hof_robinson2.php?photo=5> is a wonderful shot (if you like baseball ;-) but it is totally heartless! It has no soul. (Uh oh here we go again). I suppose it would be true to say that if I did not know how the pic was taken (either conventionally or fly by wire) then I would have to judge it based purely on the image, which is what I have advocated since I was 15. Which means I'm going around in circles and contradicting myself. I think I'd had too much to drink the other night when I wrote about the basketball setups being heartless. I think I'll retract the whole damn thing and go lie down in a small dark room for a bit.
