We have some at Masterfile in Toronto that make this stuff pale by comparison. It's very interesting, but it isn't "photography" as we understand the word photography to mean. The bits and pieces may have started out through exposure in a camera, but that's the end to the shooting a picture in the traditional fashion. As all the rerst is computer enhancement and correlating to creating a kind of collage if you like. And yep I bet she makes a ton of money from this stuff! Sometimes very difficult for real photographers to swallow that this is considered photography. ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
