Where Zone System Fails --- and 35 mm

[Donald Miller]

"Helen
I do not make photographs of gay and lesbians with rings through the genitals ..."

Neither do I. We appear to have a lot in common.

Best,

Oh crap!!! I can see that I need to cross the two of you off my list of prospective purchasers of my next portfolio. There is a great deal to be said for a clitoral stud from what some of my subjects tell me.

Robert Mapplethorppe where are you?

It depends on the definition of "Genitals".

What if the ring had a Hasse lens hanging on it or the C**K ring was a ring flash? Or the piercing was a cable release? Or a lens brush sticking out of the . . . .

How would you apply the Zone System to a moving object with camera junk hanging on it, like a leaf on a tree waiting to be free of the earthly binds that controls its existence in a yearning to be free, free, free . . .
