I agree with some of what you say, Shel, but this is a bit much, don't
you think? Being a middle aged cranky old fart, I get the same feeling
sometimes, but I'd be willing the bet that when they were building the
Parthenon, some of the older marble cutters were complaining about the
new fangled iron tools and shortcuts the new guys had figured out.
I am also still puzzling in my mind what exactly makes a good
photograph. A shot can be technically perfect in every regard but just
not very good. And another photo could be shot with a Holga and poorly
printed at Wal-Mart, yet still have a powerful effect.
In the example you mentioned, the artist and the printer reproducing
one of her works, the essential fact was the original painting, no? To
have labored mightily over mediocre subject matter would be pointless.
I am still trying to understand and learn what makes some shots work,
and reading you folks' discussions and looking at your photos is making
me think, which is good. I think.
