Over several years, I went from Red Hat to Debian to Gentoo. Then I got my Powerbook and have been using that for everything. Mac OS X provides the best of both worlds, slick GUI apps from major vendors (and the open source community) and a great Unix underbelly.

I think people look at photos of flowers and sunsets and think to themselves, I can see that almost any day. Yes viewers are jaded. Georgia O'Keefe's flower paintings are not passe, at least not to me. Why not? I think it is the same reason that you described in your post. The main difference is in execution, lighting, framing, angle and any other technical method. I think when the viewer exhausts his critical mental dialogue and looks at it anew then the "beauty" comes through. Sunsets are just like flowers.

It's something we will never get tired of a "boring old sunset" because every sunset is different.

Kind of reminds me of the "Is it art?" dialog attached with the Dada art movement. That’s a great quote… never heard that particular one before!

I'm not really interested in them. I'm sure that if I went about looking at flower photographs, I would find many that would appeal to me, including this one. Also, I don't think it is cheating and I don't think that the beauty is inherent either. I read a quote that said there are at least two people involved in each photo, the photographer and the viewer. If their vision calls it art; it's art!

Totally agree! 2. I don't usually notice this, but I do love turning the film advance lever. 3. Agree! When my DSLR arrived, it was raining for several days. The first time I took it out for taking pictures, the battery ran out because I had been playing with it at home and didn't recharge it! 4. Agree, and you gotta love the grain. 7. Totally agree. 10.
