Anthony, At your leisure, perhaps you could read Ansel Adams' "The Making of 40 Photographs," if you have not already done so. In it he describes how he sees the image he wants to create in his mind and then uses filters, lenses, and darkroom techniques in order to achieve his vision, not to literally and accurately represent what his eyes are looking at. Then us whether his work would, by you, be considered photography. - David ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.
