"I stand by what I said. If it doesn't show, if it's not directed to the message of the pic(s), NO ONE CARES HOW MUCH WORK IT WAS."

Agree with that one. An artist make a great things with great easiness, while many of other to achieave and less need and years of labor. Then both works are exposed with just a name below.

dont you see that I added that second side to make a story completed?

Actually, you didn't. You stated a point to cause an argument.

Likewise "Pearl Harbor" was a motion picture produced by Michael Bay. :rolleyes:

Oh, I caught that. The problems with that movie were well documented in the local papers at the time.

Then a person who uses the dye transfer process to make prints should just use an inkjet printer?

My next reply is: I think there is some added value to a dye transfer print than an image from an inkjet printer.

And new photographers, ones who call themselves photographers, and not the snapshooters which doing their own thing and not disturbing the photographers, should include in their education a knowledge of the different processes, and I think there are inherently more difficult processes than others. I am not arguing about the art of the image I am talking about acknowledging the process of the image.

Compare Jerry Uelsmann to Misha Gordon. Uelsmann is a bit cliché where as Gordon is far darker, but, to my eye, far more developed.

...No one (sane) likes classic Irving Penn prints primarily because they use ferricyanide touchups...

I haven't seen ANY of Irving Penn's work that I disliked. If, by saying that, I deny my "sanity", so be it!!

His work is FAR more than the "quality" ... or the lack of it ... of his printing, and I claim the right to LIKE any damn thing I want to like!

CO2 causing global warming is a lot of nonsense. The Earth is warming because the Sun is warmer at the moment. See The Great Global Warming Swindle.

Andy - I think, that while there's TONS of speculation going on with respect to what's going on with this planet... I would like to suggest that nobody REALLY knows for sure. My own view on the matter is that, since we don't REALLY know... it's probably best to err on the side of caution with it. I don't think it would be such a horrible thing to cut our emissions by 80 percent or so... do you? Not that that's EVER going to happen mind you. I go with Schoepenhauer on this one - we're probably just going to escalate ourselves into oblivion (if that's what's going on) -and if so, well, good riddance to us!!

And maybe you could answer the following?? - (not that I'm skeptical on either side mind you).. . "if this were some sort of SWINDLE, say.. WHAT would those telling us we need to cut back our emissions stand to GAIN???". It seems to me that the counter enviro lobbyists would be the suspect agents if any. I vow to sit on the fence in terms of what's REALLY going on - I just find the right's attack on the enviro-lobbyists to be a bit suspicious.

You can usually apply the time-honoured bullshit detector test to most things like this, by asking the simple question; "who stands to gain?"

What should The lack of knowledge in new photographers be known about global warming? How do you put the knowledge in them, is there an inlet or do they just get a little ray of sunshine every now and then. Why was DH Lawrence banned for so long? What will Tony Blair do when he steps down, what do they do over there? Over here they get stupid and hang out together so we can be reminded of how they screwed us when they were in office. It's 00:29 in Paris and is 57 with the lights bright on the E.Tower. I love that city. In the book "Paul Strand Southwest" Paul said when the supply of PL paper was discontinued in England he Hoarded all he could afford, enough to get him into the '40's. :surprised: Then when older he wrote to AA and said, "Im buying my first enlarger." He was 65. I like that man. :D Why are camera cases so expensive when they are close to a suit case in build?

What do we have to lose? Smog, acid rain, and other stuff. Climate Change may or may not be true, but environmentalism isn't such a bad idea.

Does it make a difference if one does or doesn't know any famous photographers? How?

Replace "famous" with "good" (and get even more subjective in the process) and I think it does make a difference. You see your own work in context or contrast with theirs, you experience or read about other methods of creative working. This can't but help you in your creative endeavours.
