Well more like a very well washed orange towel.
In a photographically related comment, perhaps everyone needs to calibrate their monitor. A lot of normal people don't calibrate their monitor, and don't have any idea what color stuff is. So it is a good idea to calibrate your monitor. Some photographers calibrate their monitor so often they don't have any time left to take photographs though. Those individuals also tend to wear out their calibration puck, and engage in 400 page threads about which is the best replacement. You can learn a lot of stuff on camera forums, some of it useful, but rarely does it make you a better photographer, though sometimes it does.
Sometimes I go to camera forums to find out the dynamic range of the latest sensor. For some reason, I think having the camera with the sensor with the highest dynamic range will make me a better photographer. Then I look at my photographs and think probably not. Sometimes you are just headed down the wrong road and will never arrive at your destination. The reason I found LuLa is because I was thinking about getting a Phase One. So I spent a lot of time reading about it. Eventually, I realized I didn't have $50,000 for a camera, and even if I did, I wouldn't spend it on a camera. That's when I found the LuLa Coffee Corner. I don't think I have thought about getting a Phase One for months, so now I am not wasting a lot of time being here.
Speaking of calibration pucks, do you know what makes me smile? Thinking about the guys who shoot on large format film so they can post their photographs on Flickr. That just slays me.
Jeremy says he is going to shut down political discussions here on Tuesday. I think that will help me be a better photographer because then I will have more time to take photographs. Then he said something about leaving one thread open so the addicts don't have to go cold turkey. I am not sure that is such a good idea. Sometimes it is best to go cold turkey. If Trump wins, I am going to go cold turkey by cancelling my cable TV and moving to a cabin in the woods. Then I will have a lot of time to take photographs. So maybe I should hope Trump wins. It would probably make me a better photographer. That is the kind of insight you just can't get anywhere other than a camera forum.
If someone would like to point out where I didn't use the proper words in places in this post, please let me know. I am always open to improving my vocabulary. Or is it diction? Now I have to go look that up in the dictionary. Kind of wants to make you throw your hands in the air and run around in circles screaming, doesn't it?
