[LRFlex] Re: Black Phoebe

Doug -

Since this group is largely populated by gentlemen who are far too polite to point out some things that should be obvious to you, I'll just hafta be the bad cop.

The subject we've been discussing on this list, at least as represented by the shots I stuck up yesterday, centers around the production of ACCEPTABLE snaps of EASY TO SHOOT subject matter with LEICA LENSES on CANON DIGITAL CAMERAS.

What you are showing here, as usual, is a BEAUTIFUL picture of a VERY DIFFICULT TO SHOOT subject with a CANON LENS on a LEICA CAMERA. On FILM, for corn's sake.

Not to mention a body of work which is all too easily interpreted as an object lesson in the idea that humble, disciplined dedication of one's human capabilities to the simplest and most accurate representation of natural beauty is a high calling, indeed.

Sorry, dude, but I just couldn't hold my digits back any longer.
