Photographs have always been dependent upon technology whereas creativity for the most part exists independently of any technological advancement. Yet many photographers that I have met or listen to equate technological advances in photography, in particular digital photography as a threat to their job security. But could technology ever be a threat to the livelihood of photographers? Case in point. My last question had to deal with the next advancement in photography. As so many pointed out, the biggest difference between a pro and an amature is creativity and more basic, an understanding of design fundamentals, a gap which some engineers at an undisclosed company is trying to bridge . Imagine a camera that had a basic understanding of 2D design concepts as well as color theory that could relay to the user with a simple green or red light whether a scene was aesthetically pleasing or not according to basic design concepts/models.

As years passed, it became more difficult for people to find a logical reason for Nicholas Darkeyes’ suspicious acts. His hair was purple and usually tied to the back into a short ponytail. His eyes were blue, changing to hot pink every year in spring. His clothes were always worn dark and scruffy; it looked as though he wore them for weeks.

There is another sentence I would write, but not done yet. How do you like it so far?

I'm want to buy about 25 double-mats -- all the same interior and exterior dimensions, but whenever I look at prices, I have to compute type of mat, cutting fee, shipping fee, etc., and doing that for 10 different matting websites is confusing to the point I have to call some of them up to figure out the final fee. Anyone have a recommendation for a matting website? Or should I try eBay or a store?

A more elaborate version of the question:

You had to vacation in Heaven and then Hell for six months each. Before entering the human dimension of the earth again, the 'gate-keeper' of earth asks you whether you would like to keep the memory of your vacation or forget all about it. What would you do?

Remember: If you want to remember Heaven, you'll remember Hell, too. If you want to forget Hell, you'll forget Heaven, too.

So just a few moments ago, someone reviewed a piece of writing I'd just finished on a website.
What she said about this short story in a message got my mind racing with profound ideas again, and I feel like writing something spectacular to please her, to show my appreciation and to demonstrate my skill.

Has someone ever has this effect on your work before?
