Hi Jim,
I love when a fella has the get up and go to speak the truth.  Like damn
the torpedos, full steam ahead!

I will say, good on you Jimbo, time somebody around here kicked ass and
called a spade a spade.  if it's garbage it's garbage, getting too many
Lilly livered folks runnin' the world afraid to speak the truth for fear of
hurting somebodies feelin's.

The problem is if your stupid you should be prepared to have someone tell
you, you're stupid or you produce crap photography even if you use a one
Leica or twelve. Crap is just that, crap! Too many half assed artsy fartsy
people go around with their heads stuck in the air like they know it all
and put down the everyday good old fashion' honest speaking folks like
they're dummies.

I see the stupidity of being politically correct slowly coming to an end,
damn hopefully, simply because more and more people realize just how stupid
it is.  You can't please all the people all the time and sure as hell can't
be friends with them all simply by creating "newspeak" to avoid hurting
someones feelings.

The moron politians and whimpy assed PR folks started all this "political
correct" stuff merely to get a lousy politian elected, now every dummy in
the country usees it as not to offend anyone.

Hell if I was a lousy photographer I'd much rather have someone tell me to
my face...."Your a damn lousy photographer even if you use a Leica!"  Than
saying "my goodness you're such a wonderful artist with the insight of a
knats ass like no one else. I do love it, it's so insightful and moving!"
BS in capital letters.

OK I'm off the band wagon and in Jim's court completely! Like I said, about
time around here someone kicked ass and lets get this art crap topic out of
here and back to real photography and Leica use!

Have a nice weekend. Go shoot pictures, real pictures, not the crap stuff!

PS: I would like you who may wish to jump on me, that as we speak I'm at
this moment moving into the triple deep six bunker and the last part of
post is being written by a computer chip! :)  Bye!
