Here's the thing Ted,

I love the aesthetics of photographic Art.
I love the power of the Best photo journalism.
I love Nathan's Travel Logs.
I love the technical side of darkroom techniques;
including the graduated cylinders, beakers, and balances.
I love the Zone System and all that it taught me about densitometry and 
light.
I love all the quirky personalities throughout the history of photography;
whether photographers, printers, critics, curators, biographers, or?
I love the digi-techie-ness of sensor size and technology;
of software and hardware and how it may help me achieve my personal visions.

So at various levels
when you ask, "Who the hell cares????"

I do? up to a point

And of course I love you? too.



Regards,
George Lottermoser
