Af far as I can tell, the camera is just a tool and too much is made of it. I have a friend who photographs with a plastic "Diana" camera that cost all of $5.00. He uses it to to its limits and produces art prints that utilise the faults of the plastic lens to give this beautiful sharp/unsharp image with a look I couldn't even get with Photoshop. He has won National Awards with it while his wife does the same thing with a shoebox as a pinhole camera. BTW, get a bunch of mates together to get me there and I'll do a seminar for you. Haven't been to Canada since 1977. Rob clifford wright wrote: > And you did them with the "outdated" M6! > As usual your photos are stunning, Rob. > Great work.
