Well, you know, I mean... Hmmm...
It's that normal people make photographic images in the proper manner - you
know, with a pinhole where light hits directly the photo-sensitive emulsion.
I always find it a bit rude to look at cameras that deliberately chose to
rely on a L*** (you know, these shiny disks of highly polished convex
glass) to actually bend light (imagine!) in order to make a photographic
image.
We'd rather not mention the word L*** in this group (and I apologize for
having done so in my first email). And we just don't look at cameras that
don't have their L*** decently covered (unless the camera is gently turned
sideways to avoid showing the offensive light-bending device).
With digital being the norm in our society, it's becoming more and more
difficult to avoid exposure to this kind of glass material. I recall having
read somewhere that a growing number of photographers have actually stopped
using any silver-based material alltogether in their work!!
Shocking, if I may say so! I just can't fathom the depth of such
perversion.
I'm sure you know that the internet is littered with web sites showing
pictures of this so-called technologically-advanced photographic equipment.
Not even a word of caution to warn-off people who consider that a "decent
exposure" should be long enough to require correction for reciprocity
failure!
But thank God, this group and other similar fora are actively working at
safeguarding proper photographic manners. The 5th WorldWide Pinhole
Photographic Day, on Sunday April 24, will show the strength of this
momentum.
With very best regards,
Guy
