Well, in that case, you're BOTH wrong. His ongoing tirade about how photographs are simply not any truth at ALL, is wearing, and of itself, untrue. People who think of photos taken of Uncle Joe and Aunt Mattie, and passed around for family to see, represent great truth to the viewer. Everybody has his or her ideas of how closely the photog "got it right" when he took the picture. But to have that image purposefully modified for effect, to make it NOT a slice in time, is just plain wrong when it implies anything it's not. ANYthing. That's the truth, not that faking of photographs for public viewing. That is deception and I say it's wrong on the face of it. keith whaley -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
