dude.

You are the dude the rest of you weep.

Cool shot dude.

BAN favourite word of Governments supported by the religious nutters who go around killing.

Let�s look at the much vaulted HCB a painter by trade in reality.

He took many thousands of pixs most failed ; a very few expressed his Art.

Needless to say he turned back to traditional Art to express his Art. Why? because it was the easier quicker path to walk.

I'm a painter. I work in oils, using layers and glazes and it often takes me MONTHS to make one painting. Since I usually have more than one painting in progress at any one time, because oil paints can take weeks to dry before starting the next layer, I do about a half- dozen paintings a year.

You are creating mostly from your imagination and anything goes.The above blurb is pure mechanics,

A photographer takes from life as it happens in that moment of time;a far far greater challenge.

A monolith dedicated to the God of Antiquity .Like most monoliths it will last for ever.

Holy Moses Batman what about the inferior electronics?

I suppose it's a case of Mum's cooking is the best.

Or, i've dropped a load on this gear.

Smile for camera dudes and say cheese.

So in "Leica" photography it seems there will be something that separates Leica work from other work.

Are we talking about the ability to create great pixs or a quality issue?

"I'll not be doing any self portraits."

We all said that until we got Leica's...you will be

Dude the world is calling from the north pole to the other one.

Eric, have you ever wondered what it would be like to meet an advanced life form?

No need to wonder anymore.

I sincerely hope it is not Frank. Watch it, no martial arts will help you.

Careful Vivek. The damned are always looking for new recruits or those with uncoated lens.

BIRDS and FLOWERS

And bees. What about nudes? Everyone likes nudes.Tough to see any further than a nude.

Maybe a burger and chips would be a challenge.

It was not a very big tin can, or a very big stone. But it made a lot of noise which dudes could hear. They liked to hear loud noises it simplified their thoughts. Thinking required effort and it could hurt,

Bigger the loudspeaker bigger the noise.

The desire to follow is helped by noise it's easy to follow. Dudes could create a chant together.

Together was important.

If you live within the confines of a box then, you'll only grow and prosper within the limitations of that box environment.

Popcorn people are happy. Everything is a popcorn. Pops.

This flickr member recently opened my eyes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anetabadziag

Popcorn photography at it's most crass: setup up fashion type shoots.

very nice dudes, everything in it's place and everything in a place. Nothing like institutional ritual.

A library is a wonderful place of knowledge.

Spontaneous random Art, frowned upon by the many, but sort out by the few.

We are one in our togetherness. Togetherness is happiness.

You will be assimilated Trevor Hare.

You will believe and become part of our collective. We speak with one voice and we are very happy, you will be very happy, or you will be e exterminated.

We are the voice of the Mysterons a superior life form

.Comply, comply.

D200 would be a logical progression from a successful D70 tenure. if not, how many camera systems does one buy, and sell, before the obvious shines through?

My goodness.Is this dude some sort of human robot? Creativity is about being trying different tools and different perspectives of creavity.

It worked out with this but i'll think i'll try this just to see.

your notion of owning a Leica rangefinder seems to be in your disservice and an obstacle to moving ahead.

A disservice is having limited horizons dude. Use both dude,don't a religious zealot, enjoy both.

buy the D200 and never look back ...

Or forward....
