I think a columnist in the Mercury News expressed it better last week; "while a photograph doesn't lie, it can be selective as to which truth is shown" Dvorak's columns aren't philosophical tracts - they range from stating the obvious (as in the one quoted) to totally missing the point, with an occasional side trip into devil's advocacy to stir up controversy. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
