  1. Arthur loved these especially the first. Looks like he's playing the Scottish Parlour Pipes? Sometimes called the small pipes or Northumberland Pipes. Smaller and quieter brother of the Highland War Pipes.
  2. Thanks Sam. Reminds me in concept of Newton Harrison's "Portable Fish Farm" installation which was part of the "11 Los Angeles Artist" show that toured Europe in 1971. My drawing teacher at Long Beach State (CSULB) in the early 70's was Max Hendler who was one of the artist in the show who explained that Harrison's exhibit consisted of several tanks filled with catfish through the stages of their life cycle. The last tank of mature catfish were to be electrocuted and then served in a feast at the gallery. This created such a furor that the matter was actually debated in parliament and animal rights advocate actually attacked the museum. After negotiations, the artist agreed not to kill any fish in public and the exhibit proceeded. The tie in to Sam's post is, according to Hendler, that Harrison wanted to depict the reality of what actually happens in procuring the animals we eat. Again according to Hendler, the concept is that people take for granted the finished product on ones plate without looking at the harsh process that takes place to get it there. This was a non photographic means of presenting the concept visually. Thought you might be interested.

  3. Try asking either Leica USA if they take questions, or one of the good Leica repair people like DAG or Sherry at Golden Touch for Steve's Camera Service Center, or Gus Lazarra who used to be here on photo.net.
  4. You might try posting this on the Cannon equipment forum here on P.net. Those guys talk about all the time and you might get more info. Mod. note - Thread moved from casual conversations
  5. I like a fine art matte but would say there's no preferred look except the look you prefer. I've seen both and they can both be great. Is there any reason to commit to one way of doing it?
  6. The Mac Studio will serve the OP well and seamlessly for a long time, that thing is a beast. You could also go with the latest build of a mini and also be happy. For me, I prefer a MacBook Pro with the Max chip and the 16" screen which is nearly as capable as the Studio but is portable which suits my needs. There are plenty of Window configurations that will run Adobe, but I switched years ago and wouldn't go back. Mac OS is easy and not hard to pick up and is really comparable with Adobe. I'd go Mac, smoother ride.
