They all seem to either rely on a gimmick or are too artificial. I guess I'm just an old grouch. I want a photograph to communicate something to me besides "what the heck is that" or "why did they bother to print that". Those are the responses I have to the cutting edge sites and all of the local "art" photography exhibits in the Charlotte area. I think the photos sent in by the LUG members are better than 99% of these cutting edge sites!! At least they are true and genuine.
