Europeans in the Americas before Columbus or Leif Erickson?

What do you think? It seems the evidence is piling up. The Clovis spear points, Kennewick Man, and the bearded white gods of Meso-America (Con-Tici Viracocha, Quetzalcoatl, Bochica, etc.), to name some of the more well known finds.

There are also the lesser know finds like the Megalithic sites along the Connecticut River in New England. I have been to some of these in Vermont, and I have also seen the ones in Carnac France, and I must say they do appear to have some similarities.

Could this go beyond the Americas? What about the long-ears of Easter Island, the Kon Tiki expedition of Thor Heyerdahl, or the redhead mummies of China?

It appears that there may have been more migrations of humanity then we can confirm. What do you know about all of this?

Is digital "dumbing down" photography?

In no way is this intended to provoke another digital vs. film debate.

But.

I subscribe to half a dozen photo magazines (paper ones) which feature both digital and film images.

Right now I'm looking at a photo essay done with a Canon 1Ds Mk2 and L lenses (maybe $15,000 worth of gear).

A couple pages later there's another essay, done with an F100, 24-85 and ISO100 transparency film. A $1000 kit, maybe more if the photog shot a lot of film.

The film images blow the digital into the weeds in terms of detail, colour range, dynamic range (no blown highlights) and the most elusive parameter of all -- realism.

(It's not the technique -- both essays are very well shot.)

As I turn the pages of other mags I see this over and over again.

So here's my question. Has digital lowered the technical standards of photography -- dumbed it down?
