I by the way have posted everything on M8 recriminations that John Collier has in that last post of his on the m8 practically word for word and only last week. I have hesitations too. And frustrations. Deliberations. And raining frogs. With a few crickets. Chirp. But to me the proof is in the pudding and the pudding ain't on my glowing monitor. Its on the table in a room with a person showing me their prints this probably taking place in 16 days in Sante Fe NM. Or in a cave in that vicinity. With indirect lighting. I could take a magenta cast out of a black tux so fast in 12 different ways it would make your head spin I've been doing Photoshop since the year it came out. And I'm sure come up with macros to do it. And variations on variations. Loupe de loupes. And if I ever shoot a tux again in my life it will be too soon. I've shot Formal wear for retail and for magazine editorial fashion numerous times. And 100 plus weddings and events over 30 years. Admittingly with a slant to black and white but plenty of color. Some of these shots appeared in Town and Country (color) (twice) and the New York Times in black and white. (a few times) ------------------------------------- Someone with a lower tolerance for such nonsense would consider Mark Rabiner's post to be slander. He's entitled to his opinion that my photos are "bad," whatever that's supposed to mean, but I never implied that any of my posted photos were taken with a digital Leica of any kind, M8 or otherwise. I did, however, assert that it would be claimed that wedding photography is bulls**t, and, yes folks, here it is. Mark, why would I want "to take a magenta cast out of a black tux so fast in 12 different ways it would make your head spin" from hundreds of photographs from a single wedding when I shouldn't have to in the first place? "I've been doing Photoshop since the year it came out. And I'm sure come up with macros to do it. And variations on variations. Loupe de loupes." Bravo! Oh, right, I'M the one who's condescending and full of himself.
