..was it not Socrates who argued that the path to truth requires didactic discourse (place differing points-of-view on the table for study and let the best position get the prize).
Anyway... Let's say the photographer's interpretation of the subject/setting can be defined as a "capture" (camera, lens, sd card, lighting, ego, mood, etc). Is it not true that what I'm being asked to consider is a re-interpreted "release" of that "capture" by an output device that may be severely compromised (i.e. a cheap laptop with crappy video card, or even cheaper uncalibrated printer). Given the possible mischief created by these flaws, it's highly probable that the fragile subtleties of each argued position can be lost.
In all fairness, RH may have a collection of output interpretation variables (computer, OS, graphics card, monitor, eye glasses w/CA, ambient light, ego, etc) that are just better tuned to the favorable interpretation of a Canon Mark-x's output over his K100D. Does all of that mean RH wins?
No!
In my view, Ben wins because he reinforces my values and I like him better.
With that, I'm
