That doesn't make it something I don't want to have anything to do with. I was a country boy from North Louisiana with a Brownie Hawkeye when I moved to Wetzlar Germany at 13 years old. Now I am a 68 year old guy who shoots with an M9, and I know and care what bokeh means. BTW, I make my living as Webmaster for the University Libraries. That's right, I build the internet.
