Debate: Making a pizza

["Mitchell P. Warner" <indepth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Excuse the analogy, but I think better in simple terms:


	All the Panoramic photographers in the world are like a pizza!

A pizza is a gestalt. 


A true example where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Pizza is not just dough, or tomato sauce, garlic, oregano, olive oil, green
peppers, meat of your choice (if carnivore).  

Each of the ingredients, by itself is not a pizza. 

Even mixed together they present a less than appetizing vision.


But apply the magical force of heat, be it thermal or the heat of discussion, 

Some of the 'items' lose their individuality, some Seem to disappear, while
others puff up with super-heated air and become bigger than life, 

 Unexpectedly the disparate individuals transform into a new entity, a
harmonious blending of uniquenesses in the form of:

Vision, Hope, Wonder. 

Be it Xpan or Cirkut it is a beauty to behold.

Unity within Diversity.  

We are all photographers.   

Celebrate the Light in your own way.  Tis the Season.
