Hey you are making me feel old. I turn 34 in July. :) Btw, I grew up using computers and had them in school. Those Apple IIe's were the bomb back then. lol


hehe - Try the old TRS-80 with cassette tapes for hard dives that ran only on BASIC. Now I FEEL OLD! haha


I had a handheld TRS80 with the printer, tape player/recorder interface, and even a couple of prepurchased programs. That's where I learned BASIC programming, at age, umm, twelve, maybe????

Wow. Those were the days of PRINT, FOR/NEXT, GOTO 10 and untold versions of "BERNARD IS THE GREATEST" on Sears demo units....

Ha! We had the Color Computer by Tandy, the tape recorder, and also some cartridges. Learned BASIC and liked to write little programs on Radio Shack display models that would display incorrect answers to math problems. :-) The salesmen would think the machine was broken.

its sort of like using a drum machine and calling yourself a drummer.

Have you ever tried to program a drum machine for a complex pattern? Quite a task.

I think a lot of the shots here that don't have post processing (digital editing), look like snapshots. Just like the shoebox full of film prints under my bed (I didn't develope my own).

My opinion...after all you asked.

Well, I'll be 36 in June and I learned BASIC back on the Commodore Pet and Vic-20 w/ tape drive! Boy what a joke those were looking back! I recall messing w/ the teacher by making an entire screen of "Mrs. J SUCKS!"

As for editing - I tend to think those who are saying editing w/ PS is somehow unfair or "fake" have never been in a darkroom doing developing and printing of shots. There is a LOT of manipulation possible even w/ film, it is just much more time consuming and a bit hit-or-miss to do. The result is the same as w/ digital editing though - a shot that can look very similar to or very different from the original.

If you really wanted to not allow editing, every shot would have to be done in RAW and posted as is. They look like crap straight out of the camera. Even a great shot will look flat and boring.
