Len -- -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+ljkapner=cox.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+ljkapner=cox.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Doug Herr Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 10:56 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] RE: While it is happening (B. D. Colen)writing goingdwnhll B. D., it was the mechanics of writing - penmanship and typing - that stopped me, not the thought process. Similarly the mechanics of metering, setting shutter speed, aperture and focus blocked many people, both creative and mediocre, from photography. There are those of us who bemoan the lack of manual skills in younger photographers, and those who've embraced the enabling potential of the automated technologies. I prefer to use the manual photographic skills and at the same time I recognize the value of the automated features for those whose creativity would be stifled without the technology - my stepdaughter for example. We are seeing more mediocre writing - and if you look in the right places you'll see more well-crafted writing. Technology has enabled more of both. The same is true of photography.
