I depend on getting the shot right the first time. No editing. What you see is
what comes out of my old camera. I guess I am just a crusty old 19th Century
kinda guy.
Spend a lot of time looking for and watching for the light to be right. Sigh,
it usually aint right.

p.s. Too much editing and computer manipulation is getting like a video game. I
hate video games. In the immortal words of one of my cheesy aphorisms. "There
is no substitute for reality."

Subject: [ratpack] Photo thought for the day
Photography is not photography anymore. It is more image manipulation and
creation rather than stealing a moment of light. It is more skills after the
fact instead of skills capturing the fact.
In film, knowledge preceded the event, in digital the knowledge is after the
event.
It is an entirely different process and the fault lies with the move to sales
being more of the electronics industry rather than the photo industry.
