Analog is just an approximation to the source -- i.e. reality -- but I have absolutely no idea what reality is, in reality :-) All reproductions of reality that try to convey an emotion or a message (aka "art") are merely conventional reproductions of "reality". The conventions vary by society and culture. There is no one right way (except mine, of course). Do you think that "analog recorded audio" reproduces the sound that Beethoven, e.g., had in mind when he wrote his music -- using an essentially digital notation? What this has to do with Leica photography, I have no idea. - -- Clive http://clive.moss.net > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of > Jean-Michel Tomaschett > Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 6:14 PM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: Re: [Leica] Is It "analog" or Is It Digital? > > > Picture or music, the source is always analog. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
