Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

About me: Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.

I adore Codrescu. :swoon: Been listening to him on NPR for decades.

I used to try to take some digiscoped pictures of birds. It took a lot of time and I had time for less birds. Then I saw a bumch of people's photos and really gave up. I could see I'd need to spend thousands for proper equipment. So in that sense Andrei is right. It discourages on a personal level. Even though you know that all those people, and you, need to take all those photos to get the few good ones.

I think he's completely right about facebook, but I don't agree that the internet in general is bad for creativity, not by a long way. I think it depends how you use it.
[Disclaimer - if this is comes across like I think I know what I'm talking about, I want to make it clear that I don't. I'm just trying to get my thoughts down]
