Getting LUG members to send to you (Ted) the names of photographers who have , distinguished themselves in this field over the years and hopefully with their email and snail mail addresses, and.... 2. The follow-up will be to mail these individuals invitations to parlticipate, anonymously, in a study of the value vision of successful photograpahers.... (....and, hopefully in sufficient numbers to make our calculations meaningful where meaning need not be born of statistical precision alone; for, any tour of horizons on this unexplored frontier should prove interesting and meaningful.) I have proposed a path to examine values in photography that interests me as I actively plan my first retirement this year, geographic relocation and the launching of a second career by the end of the year. Attention LUG members: Have you any questions, or suggestions? Hope to hear from you regarding this values in photography project, and soon; for, the half-life of a thread such this one (somewhat abstract to many I suppose; yet, I promise those participating will be treated to exciting measurements of core value dimensions and their relationship to photography) surely will be measured in days determining whether we hold or fold the project! As part of my retirement planning, I will leave town for five days to visit the Boston area (7-15 through 7-19), and on my return I will take the "pulse" of the LUG on the subject of measuring the core value vision of photographers and how their patterns might differ from the aveage population? We cannot proceed without a critical mass of LUG interest and this thread, by now, has pretty well deflined our subject matter and cleared a path!
