He was interviewed on NPR and didn't defend himself, but spoke about how digital is bringing traditional darkroom practices into disrepute. Methinks he did something more than that. They didn't discuss how he was found out. We can talk that delicate matter here. For starters, perhaps he had to present to the society the original file if he used a digital camera, or the print and neg if he used a film camera. Then they made the fateful comparison. At any rate, he wasn't fired. I surmise that the society might have directed him to give them the card he used. If he didn't erase it, either he was too preoccupied or proved to be a very honest gentleman -- after the fact. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
