Nope.

So, if your beef is with that K person, why not take it up with him directly instead of involving everyone on this forum with a misdirected over generalized ridiculous meme? And I am not a Dem, just a lone crusader fighting stupidity wherever it raises its ugly head.

Thanks. Some days I wonder why it is so difficult to explain something so simple to some people. I think there is a saying something to the effect that " you can't see the light because the chip on your shoulder is so big".

Your subject is well received and your composition is commendable, but your politics are a little over exposed.

Thanks. I only walked 2 miles to get in the right position.

Back in the film camera days I carried a camera to work everyday and was often asked to take photos of special events or situations. I got the shots because I had the camera. Now with cell phones in everyone's' hands I don't enjoy the advantage anymore. What I have retained from the 35 mm days is that I'm always seeing photo opportunities.

My best photo last week. New snow closed the ridge route just after first day of summer.

Something that no one has mentioned yet....the speed of taking a quick "grab shot". My camera for traveling is a Panasonic DMC TZ7, which hangs around my neck all the time. If I see a shot that can't wait I can have the camera turned on and the picture taken (one handed if necessary) before anyone else could have their phone turned on. And since I worked with a manual camera in the film days, I know when an exposure adjustment is necessary so I can very quickly adjust the exposure 1 or 2 f-stops before the iPhone guy can select the camera app on his phone.

If you are shooting black and white, is there an advantage to shooting raw?

What do you say to people who ask, "Why don't you just use your phone for taking pictures?" I get that frequently.

Cuba was a trip I enjoyed and would recommend. For people who say you are contributing to the status quo, you can tell them they have it backwards. I felt like I was helping the tour guide and her family tremendously. She would not have the work without tourists. The little restaurants in homes were a way for average people to have a better life. Many people count on tourist money. Granted, you can’t condone the government policies, but you can benefit a lot of poor people by your visit and meet some interesting families, hear some fantastic stories, and take some incredible photos.
