Darren,
I quote you:

"It's the film guys that should be feeling depressed about their
dying craft!

Darren."

End Quot!

Those words gave me the fighting spirit - I have temper - good and 
bad - (not always good for me!) but out of one out of sixtyfour in my 
main Club -
Yes Yes - - some of them not admitting they buoght an Olympus Digital 
Camera - excause "for the fun and and family" - I killed some of them 
showing prints in b/w quad in 8x10 by my Sony DSP 707 - I might be to 
hard on them - but they don't call me to get an advice, they still 
say "for family".

Then showing my Hasselblade - Minolta multi Pro scaned pictures - 
Photoshop - Quad / Piezo on my three 1290's - they stop talking - I'm 
not clean.

"I'm disturbing equilibrium there - for sure!" But having "temper" it 
is not easy to get the arguments to fit in!

Telling them what it costs, telling them about Hahnemülle, telling 
them the hours to get there - they go for the coffee table - talking 
about there latest Nikonzooms (I hate zooms -  zooms are indeed 
not "clean" to me - that's for journalism../smile/)
(Hit some toes there....you are welcome...) 

I'm not going passiv anylonger - there is something going to happen 
at that club - also having several pros. working for different 
magazines and papers (I know they go digital - I have seen them in 
action Canon and Nikon Dig. cameras....the lences are the same...but 
at the Club..silence...talking with them .... silver ... 
fix ...HD11..Rodinal....old times...etc etc.."forced to by their 
employer"..etc..etc)

Hi - I don't get it!

Next time I'll speak load - and after that ...I'll speak load .....
*and* now in the summer I'll prepare a full collection of 
*experimental* photos - make them as big as I can - fill the walls as 
much as I can.

I'll try to take over the show /smile/ .... and with my 
temper....there will be *no* silence!

I'll occupy the coffee table - and if they don't like my presence
there - they are forced to go to the *experimental photo wall* /smile/

Thanks Darren - we are few doing quad/piezo - but You gave me the 
spirit to fight for it.

My wife's advice - "don't go there anylonger if You feel bad - You 
know you temper!" has changed - I'll use that "temper" insted - I'll 
also show them my drawings and sketches in 0.80-1.20 m in dimension 
to do it realy experimental I'll do the same scetches as my 
*experimental photos* but as said larger than A3+.

Thanks Darren - I'll fight for it - let my hart not beat too hard!
