I feel your pain.
You have the wrong guy. I can't even get my wife to look at the pictures I took when we were on vacation in Paris and London.
Yes i remember it almost ruined his reputation back then.
Is it that expensive book now really?
+1 with respect to anything that involves direct and indirect engagement with real people.
Well, my net won't catch any fish from this pond. No one here is interested in anything past the sound of their own voice. So sad.
And to keep them from going astray. Never mind scaring the crap out of them if necessary.Art was there reinforcing the accepted beliefs of the church

Would love to, but I understand the desire to limit it to film-based hand-made prints.
Bats and whales use echo location
I would argue that animals hear sounds. They have the same or similar anatomical parts as our ears, and respond to vibrations we call sound.Whales might -- we have no idea of their intelligence. But otherwise 'sound' and the concept of 'sound' is a purely linguistic construct of humans to help describe the act of interpretating some of the energy waves that impact their bodies. If there are no humans, there are no sounds.

The world still exists if you remove the humans.... it's not anthropocentric.
Ahhhh...yes, and also gone will be words...so no one to sound off. Just the vibrations from trees falling in the woods, waves crashing onto shores, etc..The world still exists if you remove the humans.... it's not anthropocentric.
I wonder what the Ents would say about this tree and sound discussion?
A man once remarked to me, “God
Must think it exceedingly odd
To note that this tree simply ceases to be
When there’s no-one about in the quad.”
…
“Your reasoning’s really quite odd.
I am always about in the quad.
And that’s why this tree will continue to be,
As observed by yours faithfully, God.”
Let's not bring "God" into this. It's messy enough as it is.

I would not argue against the fact that animals respond to what humans call 'sounds'. I just wish to refrain from imposing the human construct of 'sound' upon non-human beings. I do not assume that animals and plants experience reality in any way similar to humans.I would argue that animals hear sounds. They have the same or similar anatomical parts as our ears, and respond to vibrations we call sound.
It reminds me for some reason of an apocryphal Miles Davis story. Apparently, he hired some new, young player who didn't fully know the evening's set list. At some point, he leaned over to the kid and growled, "If you don't know the tune, play the melody."
