I have no answer other than people find it easier to talk about camera equipment, airports, scotch, watches, the future of Leica, toothbrushes, digital and many other things other than pictures. I dunno maybe we do not feel qualified to talk about photographs. It has become very tiresome reading the inane 1-liners which most posts seem to contain. It is disturbing that over on the Street Photo group we initially started with much discussion of photos, photographers and techniques, seems to now be headed in the direction of LUG Lite. I am becoming weary of all these groups and is starting to be a waste of my time for about three hours (or more) everyday. Steve Annapolis http://www.streetphoto.net
