The camera isn't an organic being. It isn't produced by evolution. But it must conform to our organic reality. Maybe nature is a technology, but at a certain point it joined up with consciousness. And it's the consciousness more than the science of perception that is the difference which a camera image must satisfy. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
