Ken Lassiter Boynton Beach, FL >> Ken, I'm glad you brought this up, as I wanted to but didn't want to keep the nasty part of the thread going. ..... I wasn't "into" photography then like I am now but my coming back to CA without but a few photos made a huge impact on me. I can't really put into words coming back without my photographs any better than a French, Leica user did.... "....Photographic representation is, alas, never faithful to the sentiment that triggered it, but imperfect as it is, it is a naive attempt to postpone death, to steal from time a fall of light, a priviliged moment, which will never again recur, but will continue to live thanks to the photograph - like those stars that have been dead for thousands of years but whose light still travels through space to show us what they were. - - Jeanloup Sieff. Kim >> I don't know BD. If you notice though, I simply responded to Ken's post (as did Tina and Joe) and the tenor of the discussion is about visting other places(in this case france) and observations as a guest/photographer. And if you note, my post at least had Leica content, unlike the "Good ARticle" thread that is going to rage on for at least another 8 hours.
