OK Ted, I'm a fan and I'm nervous tangling with you BUT two points:
1: gut feeling is easily manipulated and if people didn't think about
photography the newspapers would be full of shit lifestyle colour pictures
taken on zoom lenses that meant bugger-all...
2: you can't mean that photography is so superficial and meaningless that it
ain't worth struggling with otherwise how could us lesser mortals appreciate
the stuff that you and TIna do?
