Kevin has the right to interview whomever he wishes and that's fine with me. 1. I don't spend any time reading interviews with factory reps or watching videos about equipment that I will never purchase (either because of cost or lack of interest) and that's my choice and fine with me. 2. When LuLa ceases to be a resource people will leave, simple as that (though I would hope we won't see public announcements).
Hi Alan,
1. I skim through, only out of interest in keeping some idea of what's happening.
2. LuLa's value as resource lies, for me, in its readership: I have had a lot of help with things to do with digital image processing, as I have had on the moral level at some critical moments in my life when I have felt photographically very flat and down.
That makes the readership input very valuable.
If I have a complaint, it's that so few readers seem willing to engage in the non-tech aspects of photography and why it matters to them; I have always found the people in photography at least as interesting as their work. I can't name a single photographer, male or female,
whose work I admire, who has not also piqued my interest in their personality. After all, that's what makes them the photographers they are/were.
Hardware is just, well, hardware. Thousands own the same stuff but get totally different levels of success or failure with it.
So yeah, it's the people not the materials that are the juice. For me.
