Not necessarily. I like to take photographs; I don't like to read about them. There are a few names I recognize, but I'm not a great worshiper of other photographers. No two photographers are the same, and while I admire the work of others, that doesn't mean that looking at their work would necessarily make mine any better. It's a matter of talent, not imitation. > All he had was a desire to take photographs. Like me. > All you have is the ability to ask inane questions. Oh, you might be surprised! -- Anthony
