The New Topographics, Walker Evans, Cindy Sherman, students of the Bechers, Gregory Crewdson...
Programs for furthering one's photographic education
other careers in Photography...
Unlike you, Kelly knows what I mean. All you are suggesting is adding more headings.....NOT improving on the knowledge base within the headings. Many of the headings....maybe even most, had their origins in the world of film sensitometry. Much of that information cannot be 100% accurate when applied to digital applications, which is what many people know exclusively. It needs to made more clear if confusion down the line is to be avoided.....
No one on the forums has more respect for Kelly than I do.....you have no idea....and my remarks to him were in the context of that relationship.....Bob
