Hi Sonny, I also shoot what ever film (or card) is in the camera if the 
shutter release asks to be pushed. OK so now we've preserved the moment. 
Then we process the film or the digital data. Don't we have to ask for a 
second time, now what do I want to say with this image? Will I print (or 
digitally process it) as contrasty? Or soft? Do I want color accuracy? Or do 
I want some other color effect? If all we're doing is grabbing images and 
taking whatever the film or card hands us - it seems we're missing the 
chance to reach for our best in photography. When Graham reaches for his 
green, red or no filters, he's thinking about the end product on screen (as 
he doesn't print). Isn't the the point of photography and this list to help 
one another improve our product to achieve our intentions? Especially when 
it's all so available in our current technology.

Fond regards,

G e o r g e   L o t t e r m o s e r,    imagist?
