    I understand your sentiments, especially in this day and age. My father would always say it in a somewhat of a sarcastic way, but then there was a little bit of truth in there, you know, just to make me feel better about having some troubles in school.
    cheers

    how do you know that?
    photography degree doesn't mean shit.
    almost none of the pro's i know studied photography in school, and the few people I do know who have a photo degree sucked ass when they got out, or were no better than the others who had been shooting for the same amount of time. not to say that the above comment has any bering on your photos though.
    cheers.

    i presuppose that the artist already knows what he/she wants the photo to look like. I do not have to be taught how I want my photo to look, I just need to be taught how to make that happen. That is what the purpose of the books are.

  12. Re:Ansel was a scientist. on Would Ansel Adams Have Gone Digital? · · Score: 1

    I have not completely missed the point. The books are about the process and how to implement it. A digital camera would therefore be just another method to use in that process and if he was into including digital cameras in that process, Ansel would have thoroughly documented it as well. Also, you can't help but think that he enjoys testing things and knowing exactly how they will work when you read his books.

  13. Ansel was a scientist. on Would Ansel Adams Have Gone Digital? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If you ever look into the three books that Ansel wrote, "The Camera", "The Negative", and "The Print", you can see how Ansel was a scientist. Just take a look in the backs of those books at all of the charts and graphs he has for different elements of the photographic process. He tested everything and knew more about how the film, camera, developer, and paper would react with each other, then almost anyone. Kodak would even give him new film to test out and report back on the characteristics of said film. He also came up with the zone system, which is a scientific way of going from what you want your photo to look like to actually making it look that way.
    I think Ansel would have loved to test out the digital cameras and make observations on how the digital camera matched up with film cameras in different situations.

    check this out from a time article

    "TIME: What about independent labels? Will they follow suit?

    Jobs: Yes. They've already been calling us like crazy. We've had to put most of them off until after launch just because the big five have most of the music, and we only had so many hours in the day. But now we're really going to have time to focus on a lot of the independents and that will be really great. "

    "A polarized filter passes only the light that does not match its orientation. Only the part of the light wave that is not aligned with the slots in the filter can pass through. Everything else is absorbed."

    so there are many layers and each time some gets absorbed and changed into current. all the while lining up the waves as they pass through the layers.

    im just making this up though
    maybe someone else can help me
