Making it look like he's showing us some bad shots he's taken with an M8
here but there is no sign ones ever been forced into his cold dead hands.

I by the way have posted everything on M8 recriminations that John Collier
has in that last post of his on the m8 practically word for word and only
last week.
I have hesitations too. And frustrations. Deliberations.
And raining frogs. With a few crickets. Chirp.

But to me the proof is in the pudding and the pudding ain't on my glowing
monitor.
Its on the table in a room with a person showing me their prints this
probably taking place in 16 days in Sante Fe NM. Or in a cave in that
vicinity. With indirect lighting.

I could take a magenta cast out of a black tux so fast in 12 different ways
it would make your head spin I've been doing Photoshop since the year it
came out. And I'm sure come up with macros to do it. And variations on
variations. Loupe de loupes.
And if I ever shoot a tux again in my life it will be too soon.
I've shot Formal wear for retail and for magazine editorial fashion numerous
times. And 100 plus weddings and events over 30 years. Admittingly with a
slant to black and white but plenty of color. Some of these shots appeared
in Town and Country (color) (twice) and the New York Times in black and
white. (a few times)
