Its thinking hard about being a photograph. But its waiting for someone to hit the command P combination. I am used to thinking of photography as a means to make photographs. A Jpeg is a kind of a photograph wanabee. And is fine for most peoples photo needs. Me I didn't stop loving making photographs just because I went digital. And If I don't get my new printer working this week I'm in real trouble as I have a deadline for a print. I hope the damn printer works. - - from my iRabs.
