Subject: [Leica] Bacon

Bacon, let's talk about Bacon. Francis Bacon. The one known as a 
philosopher, not the one known as a painter.
A long time ago he wrote a comparative review of Kodachrome 25 and Velvia, 
but I believe that his words may have broader significance:

'The contemplation of things as they are
Without error or confusion
Without substitution or imposture is in itself a nobler thing
Than a whole harvest of invention'

So. Discuss? Or is he preaching to the converted here on the LUG? But do we 
aspire to be noble, or is there a better word?

Regards,
Malcolm
