I was wrong. The computer controlled camera system is indeed the way to go. It is indeed the most creative means to art, fine art, and all things photographic. I'm not the least bit interested in duchamp since he didn't have a computer. The new AI and fuzzy logic firmware is really great. Long live the matrix meter, uni-ISO film, and one hour photo machines. Whew... my mind is tired just thinking about the creative stuff I can do. ;-) Jim
