    I don't play the piano, I don't have a beard and I listen to AC/DC in the darkroom. I have no hope as a photographer.

    I can't stand PIC. HDR it is as if it is a whole new art form.

    Not a word, but any reference in magazines etc. On how to shoot like Ansel Adams. Especially when using a DSL.

    But it has a similar ring, and the same number of syllables as one of (I would guess) everybody's all-time favorites. i.e., bull$#!^

    All natural images are analog. But the retina converts them to digital on their way to the brain.

    P.S.

    Another thought...

    Maybe we can start a new trend.

    Next time the need arises just exclaim to somebody, "That's a bunch of Bokeh!"
