Digi stuff

Hi, Pico.

>you, Niels?)

No, I'm not. I do medical illustrations, for paying for the medical school.
AND I do use digital work  on it, but I don't consider this part as
photography (see why on my reply to Neil's last e-mail). What I really like
is surreal and macro work, with both landscapes and macro subjects - I think
the greatest challenge of all is to achieve unreal images with these
subjects WITHOUT using computers. It'd be too easy, compared to doing it
with LIGHT. It does take more time, of course, but I don't mind at all. As
for Neil's work, I agree that he'd be stupid if he didn't use computers,
just as I do computer editing for earning money, and that's JUST for money.
I'd do not use computers for art, since photography is the goal, not sitting
all day in front of a computer... "Hello, HAL!"

That's the perfect synthesis of technocracy!!!!
