Just razzin, just razzin . . . the nice thing about this affliction we
suffer is that there's a whole lot of room for just about anyone
wanting to do anything, including wet plate photography. I mean, retro
is the new post-modern. <g> Besides, a well made buggy whip is an
artful thing, for sure. As long as you use it for driving a buggy, and
not for trying to get your significant other to comply. <snicker>
Fact is, I could see myself using film exclusively, but I've got the
LazyGene, and the pipeline straight from the sensor into Photoshop is
just too tempting to resist. But then any opportunity to rip off
Treasure of Sierra Madre is too much to pass up, too.
But then I had a family in the gallery today, the younger female alpha
of which was gushing all over me, and her sister wanted all the
details about my digital camera. I think if the two of them hadn't had
the parents and the kid with them . . . well . . . hehehe. An old fart
can dream, can't he?
