though i always try and stay out of the leica flame wars -- i really can't
let this go by without protesting -- how does digital sweep the craft of
photography into the dustbin of history? did the integrated circuit sweep
the craft of radio into the dustbin of history when vacuume tubes went the
way of the dodo? 

digital or analogue, it's still photography, the only thing that changes
is the process. did color sweep the craft of photography into the dustbin
of history? photography's going to be around for a long long time.
digital, if anything, is expanding its horizions rather than shrinking
them.
