Can Ya' Believe "IT"


Where do I start ?

Okay here goes I know that you all are interested in photography and or Adams County PA or both. My proposal that we all stay away from the digital world long enough to explore the world of the pinhole camera. {Learn Something OLD but NEW to most of you Check out the Fun at:} pinhole.org

My course for the pinhole camera course at the IS {I will now begin to call it the NIS "NO" Imagination Station} {as it looks to me exclusively digital world} at NIS at the Adams County Arts Council has been turned down, the reason being was it just couldn't sell the course {of course no testing, questioning, no demographics research looked at by the coordinator, not sure she even new what a pinhole camera was} but yes some other photographer will be teaching the supposed ins and outs of yes digital photography! {Many Many free courses and tutorial for free on line!!}

{Got a point and shoot READ THE MANUAL}

Oh yes that NIS course will be a how to on working with an imaging program on your computer {a pc I assume} so if ya own a pc {500.00} and a digital camera {400.00 more or less} and the money for Adobe CS3 release {upgrade $1399./new $2499. pretty cheap compared to a pinhole camera for NOTHING, {use an old oatmeal box just for fun}. You can learn how to get your computer camera how to work with your computer but you may still not understand the basics of photography/

Which is LIGHT.



Photography on the other hand is lost to the computer world for remember the digital image is +++++-------+-+-+- yes thats right it is not necessary to be a photographer if the computer{digital camera} is figuring it out for you. With a few simple lessons in the REAL world of black and white and the understanding of how it all works will make you a better photographer and more attentive to your subject.

Not just another person with the funds to buy a point and shoot and take a course

I am getting kinda long here so Tune in for tomorrow's input

AND REMEMBER

"No man is wiser for his learning: it may administer matter to work in or objects to work upon; but wit and wisdom are born with a man.
