I think a lot of people are doing some serious stuff with it plenty of the Avant Garde people. Kyle does. I have no bad vibes on it. Though in the past it seemed to separate for me the people who were into photography and the people who were not. Not a valid outlook any more. I'd love to upload a pic I just took to a friend so they could see what I'm doing right now. I just made linguine with white sauce and green peas in it it sure looked great on my Deruta plate I'd have fired it off to everybody I knew and I cant wait for the smell or ama plug in. All really want is for the metadata in a picture I took to tell me where the hell on planet earth I was when I took the picture. I hope I get one of those before I die.
