Once again my thickheadedness is showing. And I don't think it's just this
darned respiratory infection. I appreciate Simon's views on photography
*and* (not versus) gear fetishism. I also greatly appreciate gear fetishism
and have learned much this year about why it exists so desperately amongst
listfolk here - whom I occasionally imagine, in my more feverish musings,
might otherwise be wearing studded leather, strategically cut out in
delicate places. So, thank goodness for relatively healthy fixations. I
doubt enough cows exist to satisfy the equivalent demand of the collective
passion of the world's Zuikoholics.
But let us move on to a far more important topic: the superiority of blue
Siberian squirrel quill brushes over Kalinsky sable for watercolors.
