You take the Nikon pill or the Canon pill. All I'm offering is the truth.

From Monty Python - The Holy Grail

SCALVERT: Well, I am an SC member!
DENNIS: Oh an SC, eh, very nice. And how d'you get that, eh? By exploiting the voters! By 'anging on to outdated purist dogma which perpetuates the artistic differences in our society. If there's ever going to be any progress with the--
WOMAN: I didn't know we had an SC. I thought we were an autonomous collective..
DENNIS: You're fooling yourself. We're living in an SC dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working photographers--
DENNIS: I told you. We're a photographic commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of tie council for the week. But all the decision of that SC member have to be ratified at a special weekly meeting-- By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,-- But by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major elements--

WOMAN: Well, how did you become an SC then?
SCALVERT: The Lady of the Lake,... [angels sing] ...her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft a Canon 20D from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, scalvert, was to carry the Canon. [singing stops] That is why I am your SC!
DENNIS: Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing cameras is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
SCALVERT: Be quiet!
DENNIS: Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a camera at you!
SCALVERT: Shut up!
DENNIS: I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a Nikon at me, they'd put me away!
SCALVERT: Shut up, will you. Shut up!
DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
SCALVERT: Shut up!
DENNIS: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help! I'm being repressed!
SCALVERT: Bloody peasant!
DENNIS: Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
When I shoot them myself, what a horrible blur

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
When I shoot them myself, what a horrible blur

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also in the ribbons for those who score real high
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How'd you do?"
They're really saying, "I want Blue"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
When I shoot them myself, what a horrible blur
Yes, I shoot them myself, what a horrible blur

Oh yeah

Light, the final photo.
These are the voyages of the web site, DPC.
Our on-going mission:
To shoot strange new landscapes,
To photograph life and third world civilizations,
To boldly post-process, how no man has ever processed before.

"to be or not to be" what a silly question! The "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so who is to say what is "to be or not to be?" One will say "you have too much light", the next "you do not have enough", "Et tu oh judge" for "Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't .." So we scream ""Off with his head!" till the next challenge is complete and we once again "vote with our feet".

Till we all learn that "All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,

Who is to say what is "to be or not to be"...it is up to the artist!

Sorry could not resist!
