Dear Eric,
I was disturbed to read that you find us a courteous group of
photographers - in my experience this is almost never the case. Many the
time I have stepped over wrestling bodies in the street outside the local
camera store with a crowd ringed round calling out encouragement. Gosh,
every park that caters to wedding photographers has at least a dozen camera
fights ( A Bronica on the end of a nylon strap makes an efficient morning
star. And cheap these days. Watch out for monopods) as pros vie for the best
backdrops.
Can we be doing something wrong? Have we neglected each other? Should we
be snarling more?
Can it be the time and temperature of the darkroom soothes out some of
the stress of the studio? Locked away in the dim red or amber with a
negative and a bottle of rum...."Can't come out, Dear....intensifying the
characteristic curve for at least the next hour. The gamma is up to 8.2 and
I need it at least 9.4 before the anionic dodging takes effect. Do we have
any lemons and hot water?"
Or perhaps we are the "negative" of most other net groups and react in
an opposite fashion - distance makes us more pleasant and polite instead of
removing our normal inhibitions and allowing us to abuse strangers.
Perhaps we should all set aside a part of a day - say September 13 or
o - and write a stinging criticism of someone. This year it will be Richard
Knoppow, but next year it can be me or you. The recipient of the roasting is
allowed to burst into tears and then make copies of all the emails and send
threatening letters to the list. And then adjourn to the darkroom and try to
get a perfect 50 x 70 print from a 110 negative....
Uncle Dick
