Did anyone read the times story about Thomas Eakins (and Vermeer, etc) using the camera obscura and the camera lucida..projecting the image onto the canvas and, yes, tracing....then great paintings result. (Hockney has a new book on this) A camera can be a tool, a piece of art in and of itself... and of course photography can be technical, documentary and/or art or humor or porn or...ad infinitum. No limits!!! so keep up the banter. t - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
