However, I'll concede to you, that sometimes if one is shooting for an artsy fartsy art magazine or one of these over trained exotic vision art photo editors, tilting, twisting and all the composition rules in the book are out the window! But in my book of photojournalism there's no such such thing as screwing with a picture by tilting and twisting it, any more than I'd condone photoshopping in a person or pyramid being moved. Like it's ethics! Well spoken Ted! Its like they are very deliberately trying to prove how cool, casual and detached they are that they are above technique. Anyway, if you have to try hard to be cool you are not. ============================================================================ Ken Firestone, W3CAT | For every problem there is one solution kenf@speakeasy.net | which is simple, neat, and wrong. ken@firestone.net | -- H.
