So here's the first question that I'm asking on this site:

There are many talented and experienced photographers on this site who rightly argue time and again that it is the photographer and NOT the equipment that makes a compelling image. These people argue that someone with a creative mind and technical ability can make compelling images with the lowest quality of gear: even disposable cameras! In fact, for years photographers have found technically "limited" mediums such as Lomography as an asset to creativity.

However, I consistently see many of those making the argument that "its the photographer and not the gear" turn right around and make assertions that "real artists" only use film," or that film is a superior medium for serious photography. (All real testing, on the other hand, shows that both mediums have advantages and disadvantages in different situations).

How do those who make the both assertions reconcile the two?

Definition: "God explains what science does not adequately explain."

By this definition, does God exist?

If you think that science does not adequately explain everything then God exists.

If you think that science adequately explains everything, then God doesn't exist.

corollaries:
1. Since science adequately explains more things every year, the "power" of God diminishes as time passes.
2. If you think that science will never adequately explain everything, then God will always exist (He'll never die)

Im honestly tired of people talking about how digital is so much better than film, I've only been a photographer for about 8 years, but I have always appreciated the talent of photographers who don't need photoshop, or automatic red-eye reduction, or auto balance, those are great features for taking snap shots, but I just want to know if there is a seasoned photographer who actually thinks digital is the way to go. What do you think?

Seven years of solitude
So seldom does it give
Seven years of solitude
How I wish I could be it

Your wind once blown for me,
A long long time ago,
And like the shadow on the wall
It always had to go.

Seasons change and still I’m here
Never to stray far or near
My heart is true
But what of yours?
I still hear all the doors.

A woman of misery and hate,
doth compare to a woman of joy and love.
For her kind is cold and heartless.
While the other is warm and bright.

Do you see a similarity?
I do.
I see the woman of hate as she cries for her babe.
I see the woman of happiness laugh wickedly for the same.

Do you hear what I hear?
Do you listen to the cries of the desperate woman?
Do you listen as a baby is whisked into the cold bright light.
Do you hear its cries as it realizes the cruelty of the world,
the harshness of the day?

I see these things with a slow eye,
for I must right the wrongs of the world.
I bring a babe for every death.
And for every wrong a right.

I don't solve your problems for you,
but I help you help yourself.
I am Diana.
Protector of the girl,
of the young and helpless.

I see you who is good,
helping in my work,
cradling the crying child.
I see you who is not,
causing the tears to roll and the furious hellfires to uproar.

"Snow Falls" tommy_caswell2000@yahoo.com

In the brisk night of winter, snow falls soft and light,
you, soft and silky, warm and clean, wander in night.
Your mind a maze of beauty, your thoughts fall like snow,
clean and white and gentle, you illuminate a peaceful glow.

Snow falls with valor, it piles up and makes a grand presecene.
I awake to hold you close, and snuggle in your aromatic essence.
Drifting off as one together, nature is singing in our quiet merge.

Hoping in our silence, that this moment in time, will only purge.
what is in our heart,, as we share this special gift of care,
snow falls with valor, as we no longer feel lonely despair,

happiness prevails,, if only for the moment,, that "Snow Falls"

I was told that in an oil painting the eyes have the whites, the iris, the pupils, AND a little dash of white to show the reflection of the light. The dash, or dot, of white are both on the left or both on the right side of the eyes.

Do you have any more information on this?

Thanks.
