I'm not so sure we need writers who know too much about photography. I prefer outside opinions because they're free of technical fears that might inhibit discussion about Content. I'd like writers free to talk about photography from the POV of the public. At least represent the public at some level. And educate the public at another. The Times runs articles by Vicki Goldberg [I hope I have her name right]. She does an excellent job when the editors give her space. Most art reviewers tackle photography. We need more of them. Particularly now, when digital is looming with all sorts of effects. Critics can help us sort out what is essential to photography and not get lost in the technical fireworks going on now. We are just too close to the action to have perspective. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
