I like the pic. I started taking pictures with a Baby Brownie, my 7 year old birthday present--in 1938. I like the idea of pressing that button when I see something that I like to look at and want to be able to see it again. And again. And again...

As someone who has spent untold hours in the darkroom and loved every minute of it, I thoroughly enjoy the digital counterpart, post-processing. Ansel Adams gave us the analogy: the negative is the score; the print is the performance. Now the file is the score and I delight in seeing how much I can get out of it and into the print. I am often amazed in what can be discovered in what initially appears to be a pretty blah shot.

I see folks here use the term "artistic photography". It's not always clear to me what they mean by that. Anyone want to give us their view?
Any photograph that you don't get tired of seeing over and over.

I am gratified to see so much support for paying our share of running and taking care of our beloved country, i.e., taxes. Nobody likes taxes, and progressive or regressive, there is no way to make taxes absolutely fair. However, taxes have gotten so much bad publicity in recent years that I thought I was the only person who tried to justify them. It's a relief to find out other wise. Is it just photographers who understand the necessity?

Just because it is a myth doesn't mean that there is not truth in it. See Joseph Campbell.

Definition of art that I like best:
A work of art is a message to the world, about the world, from the world.

"The man who compared the negative to a musical score and the print to a performance would, I believe anyway, never have been an in-camera purist. He wasn't an in-camera purist."
And we all know that there are an infinite number of ways that a musical score can be performed. The same holds true, I think, for a negative or a digital file.

The problem with being an atheist is that you've got no one to cry out to when you have an orgasim.

I look at professionals and top amateurs photo's and see sharp images with almost a 3d image, with separation between objects.
Is it all about the lighting? I know it can't be the equipment, because some of the images are from similar camera's.

While there are so many variables in making pictures, one of the most important is the quality of the lens. I pay considerably more for my lenses than I do for bodies--and I have some expensive bodies.

I recently purchased a Canon10-22 EF-S lens. The image quality is far superior to that from the kit lens that I have. I suspect the differences you noticed were the result of the lenses used and not the actual camera.
I absolutely agree. I have paid far more for lenses than for bodies and have found it very worth while.
