Here in lies the double-edged sword of the internet, information can now reach round the globe at the click of a button in a free and open venue. Sadly, that information can be cast in doubt with a simple, unsubstantiated claim that a 4000+ word article backed up with comparative illustrations and 35+ years of wisdom is "quite flawed". And while I have never met the disparaging party, he has challenged my work and writings in the past, to what end gain I simply have no clue. When invited to share his own photography to offer some type of validation to his claims nothing comes, except of course written, yet unsubstantiated words to cast doubt where there is clear evidence to the contrary.
When good people with valuable information lose interest in sharing their knowledge look no further than "Forum Photographers" who choose to make absolute claims but cannot provide any visual reference or comparisons to validate their claims.
