this shows, once again, that photographs, just like any other form of real art, shouldn’t aim at reaching an illusory form of technical perfection but they are worth as much as the emotions which they are able to awaken in our souls.

 

If one isn’t moved by this other WPP picture... then I don’t know what would! You could have taken this picture with any decent camera. John Coltrane the great saxophonist said, you can play a shoestring, if you are sincere!

It's just what I've been thinking of lately. At the same time as this forum has come to consensus that barebone spec's superiority (Sony) doesn't really matter, we are still debating about lens's micro-contrast, sharpness across the frame, resolution power, etc etc... Force of habit I believe... But nevertheless we love the art of photography, though sometimes talking tech.
