“I don’t think it’s necessary to put your feelings about photography in words. I’ve read things that photographers have written for exhibitions and so forth about their subjective feelings about photography and mostly I think it’s disturbing. I think they’re fooling themselves very often. They’re just talking, they’re not saying anything.” – Eliot Porter

Congratulations and thank you ... on your referencing someone OTHER than Adams ;-)

I guess that depends on whether the friends are hunters or photographers.

Yes, I got that reaction from a few folks, but in all cases we weren't talking already in the context of photography.

A sensible question deserves a sensible answer - unfortunately you haven't asked a sensible question.

SOOC can be the end of the process for an experienced photographer.
