Analog vs digital mattresses
In this morning's NY Times there is a full-page ad for a digital
mattress. (Not a joke, p. A11.) That's right, punch in your desired sleep mode, stir the microprocessors into action, jump in and get the best possible night's sleep of your life. At least that's the claim. As an analog guy, I am not buying it. Call me a Luddite, but I've been sleeping on an analog mattress for decades and see no reason to switch. And what about the sheep jumping over those wooden rails? I've always been content with images that are warm and fuzzy. And I don't dream in color, damn it; B&W is good enough for me! I'm just waiting (and I won't have long to wait) for the argument over whether jpeg jumping-sheep or RAW jumping-sheep images are superior. If I'm allowed to vote, it will certainly be for jpeg. Who needs all that detail? And forget archival. There seems to be no end to which these digital adherents will go. We will surely soon see posts that proclaim "Analog mattresses are dead, get over it!" Arrgh, here we go again. HFL -- Change hlockwood to hflockwood in email address |

My objective was to inject a little humor into the ever present battle in this news group between digital and analog. But I was wasn't kidding; that ad was indeed in this morning's Times. And looking at the postings so far today, they were almost all OT, and viciously so. HFL -- Change hlockwood to hflockwood in email address |

Tell ya what: post something about cameras, lenses, flashes, photography, post some images.. But stop with this crap. Well, Alan, I stand properly chastised; I'll try to live up to your standards in the future. And I'll be watching to see that you do the same. I like that "vainglorious return" characterization, nice turn of a phrase. Per your request, you will find some of my images he www.pbase.com/hlockwood. But since I've posted this pointer before, I'm now open to the accusation of seeking "much wanted attention." Just can't win, I guess. I'm not at all good at "flashes" so I have nothing to contribute there. But If you reread my posts you will see that I have indeed discussed 35mm hardware issues. Oh, and on "photography." Yeah, I've had a few things to say there as well. HFL -- Change hlockwood to hflockwood in email address |

Just an idea, in addition to captions, you might include cut-lines for your photos. http://web.ku.edu/~edit/captions.html |
