Harrington writes A bigger and more important problem is that the more intelligent people practice some form of birth control. Many of the less intelligent do not. Absolutely, that is the greater problem by far. However most of the Gays do seem to be of higher intelligence.

To someone who feels an obligation to be politically correct in all thoughts, words and deeds, I'm not surprised it should seem so. In the real world I have never noticed a correlation one way or the other. I will say that one or two of the most mind-numbingly stupid people I've ever known happened to be homosexual, but I still wouldn't take that as having any real significance as to correlation. |

I think you will find a high correlation between openly gay people and those in the arts. I have no statistics. It may also be that the climate in the art world allows gay people to be more open about it. -- Peter |

The bikes themselves don't interest me. My interest is more to the character shots of the people. I do have one of a biker on a bike, though: http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/Photog...0_PLik2-XL.jpg When you stand back to get the bike in the frame, you lose the detail of the person. You certainly caught his character, but you have to look hard. the biker looks a little too dark and the bright chrome of the bike a tad too bright. One of the reasons I don't like photographing bikes is all that chrome is hotspot hell. Chrome *is* bright. Well, you did validate at least one Harley rider. I know exactly what you mean about tricky highlights off chrome. Try these for size; http://homepage.mac.com/lco/filechute/_DNC1232w.jpg http://homepage.mac.com/lco/filechute/_DNC1301w.jpg http://homepage.mac.com/lco/filechute/_DNC1279w.jpg I don't do those type of shots. The machines don't interest me unless they are rusty old wrecks. The people on or around the machines are what I like to take candid photographs of. Usually I crop out all but the part of the machine that is around the face or the upper body. To take a good shot of a motorcycle you need to set up at the right time of day, position the bike so the light falls the right way, and (sometimes) use a reflector or screen to manage the light. Then you have to worry about reflections in the paintwork or chrome. All that just doesn't interest me. Part of that lack of interest is my lack of appreciation for the machine itself. I'd like to find an old Indian propped up in a barn, but all those modern bikes leave me cold. Photographically. I've still got a 1971 Moto Guzzi Ambassador in the garage, but its in parts and pieces. Also in boxes is most of a 1972 Moto Guzzi El Dorado. If the SI mandate is ever "unfinished projects", I'm in luck. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

"Neil Harrington" wrote in message ... "Peter" wrote in message ... "Neil Harrington" wrote in message ... I doubt it. There are a lot of celebrity lesbians and I haven't heard of any one of them actually giving birth. They always seem to acquire "their" children by adoption. And that has nothing to do with gay marriage causing a population decline. (not sure that a decline would be a bad thing.) Of course. Irrelevant to the quoted comment. A bigger and more important problem is that the more intelligent people practice some form of birth control. Many of the less intelligent do not. Absolutely, that is the greater problem by far. Yes. And when there exists a policy of stealing money from the rich (successful) and giving it to the poor (unsuccessful) the average intelligence of the human race deteriorates as a result. The unsuccessful just have more children, and the successful, fewer..... |
