    I tried Budweiser once. What is the english expression for "Pisse d'âne" ("donkey pee") ? I know, i know, taste and colors are subjects that cannot be discussed

So little personal care anymore. Wherever I go there are not many people who actually care for what they produce, they just care for the salary and lifestyle the salary can bring, if it means a crap product then no problem. Don't groan, but with photography there is no mass mechanization possible. Every shot has to be carefully and lovingly composed and crafted. And it has made me feel that we have lost the craftmans pride. A lot of Zen And The Art Of... is about this.

        drinking Bud makes me nervous, and a little ill. why? because the only time i drink it is when i'm at a party with a keg. i just know (from years of experience) that i'm going to be drinking far too much of the stuff (and probably throwing it back up in the bathroom). yuck. true. -c

Accounting and photography are, well, a tad different. If they had any similarities I would not be so into photography. One is a art, the other is not. This is why you cannot mechanize it. That robot is quaint and I am sure takes wonderful wedding photographs... but wedding photographs are forumalic and hardly art. You don't see wedding photographs being exhibited except by proud, yet misguided, parents. The very best photographs are the ones that break all the rules, all the rules that that robot is following and would never break because it does not have creativity. One day an AI infused robot surely will break through and take artful photographs, but then it won't be mechanization, it will be creativity all over again. Interesting link though :)

One is a art, the other is not. This is why you cannot mechanize it. They are quite different, i'll agree. But that's not quite what i was getting at - all joking aside, there are still human accountants around. The difference is, you won't find scores of them packed into tight rows carefully figuring up ledger sheets by hand; instead it's more likely there'll be one or two accountants using PCs. And anyone who's been paying attention to the news here in the States for the last year knows accountants *do* have quite a bit of creativity, though it tends to manifest itself in rather unpleasant ways... By all means, the role of the experienced photographer isn't gonna go away; but i could easily see them becoming more of a hobbiest / luxury for large publications sort of thing.

                                  Ditch the Bud and grab Samuel Adams. Best american beer I've ever tried. It's infact one of the best beers I've ever tried. -- Eventhough the forrest is full of trees, there's still no tree between the trees.
