Ted mon ami,

Thank you again for your very kind words. I think our generation was  
used to learn some I can call "How to do this", actually in many cases  
is not necessary to know anything about, you can have an excellent  
prepared food, a video or photo camera, a car that's park  
automatically, a mathemathical function you can do electronically....,  
we are - or the new generations are not more makers, they are users, I  
think that the long tradition of the legaly of the knowledge is lost  
for many people, they don't need this, they ask to the Google!

I also smile looking to the "EIO's" shooting pictures, to a big  
monument as i.e. La Sagrada Familia with a small camera and a small  
flash...., I can't understand, they don't see anything!

Your words has encourage me many times to shot, your sentence "if you  
can see you can shot it" is one of the better guides never said for a  
photographer, well as you say, for a real photographer.

Thank you mon ami!

cheers
Lluis
