I am not at present equipped with a darkroom though I suspect that I shall be again within a six-month or so. I have no ability with digital and my efforts to learn from this group about digital have simply convinced me that I have no idea whjat anyone is talking about. I have a VERY basic digital P&S and I cannot make it work. My wife has a very basic digital P&S and can on rare occasion make it work. But neither of us can obtain any sort of regular success from digital, nor can either of us comprehend such software as Photoshop. (And, no, we are not computer jerks: my wife is a director of quality control for a major HMO and I have been dicking about with computers for twenty years and more.) What I am saying is that digital has juist absolutely sucked out of me any interest in photography. I would like to find a list where we could get back to figuring out the Leitz dingus which allowed a PLOOT to be fitted to a QUANGO. That's my place. I really do not belong on a Leica Users' Group and will probably soon retire from this province as I simply no longer wish to take pictures. Digital wins. I lose.
