Guess you're not one of those creative photographers. What then? CSI? Documenting your stamp collection? You should have been in the Haight with me in the 60s. Properly warp your mind to understand J.R.R. To me, photography is art. A creation. That without my camera would only exist in an unrecorded form. As such, no matter what I do (including finger-painting on it) has the original scene only as a basis for my artwork. Someday, when I learn Photoshop much better than my current hacking, I may put the finger-paints away. :-) Joseph McAllister Pentaxian (and his avatar) http://web.mac.com/jomac/public (password wetfrogs) Not bad looking for 66.
