(So, can we move on to discussing the best bag for my R3 kit now?) :-) I can see how people might consider his work boring, but I was reacting to the notion that his work is 'soulless'. That is a notion I fully reject. Really, how can a photograph can have 'soul' at all? It happens in two ways: 1) the subject's soul is captured visually by the photographer, or 2) the photographer's soul is captured by their interpretation of their subject. I've seen Adams photos that work both ways. - - marc On Thursday, December 5, 2002, at 06:32 PM, Tim Atherton wrote: >> Is there another Ansel Adams who takes photos, or are you guys all on >> drugs? > > no - just the technically perfect but boring one...
