Thanks for responding to my question so promptly! I was casting about for a DSLR, and your heads-up re: the good deal on the D40 was really helpful.
Very grateful to you; I think it speaks well of you and your blog that you are so on the ball with answering reader questions.

I seem to have put the cork into this thread. I am proposing a digital monument . On or off ? Yes or no? Alive or Dead? The cosmic ohm shit just prior to your demise? Where do you as an eyeball filter want to fit in? WW2 photographers were not well received. They were recording the ugly reality that the recruiters were trying to hide. Command hated them. Commands’ worst nightmare showed up in a cell phone . My monument will honer the most honest digital code that carried the most powerful image if how ugly War really is. Start with pictures and bios of posters that idealize one of the most useless things we can do to each other. They may be met by the real dead when it is their turn. If they are lucky.

To put it another way, dead men can’t write books.

This stuff is not easy to digest. We humans are now blessed with access to the most powerful biological computer in our local cluster and we continually use it as an instrument of destruction. Trying to idealize war from the brain misses the point of being present for life under your feet. That is the message from the ferns finding food in the hulks. I think.
