Ah, I see, Chris. And I can imagine the scream-producing pain of small hand
movements, then. Does seem true that computer typing's less demanding
[sliding fingers over keys, as you say] then old conventional typing or the
tricky bits that computer graphics would demand.
Sounds like you've got a perfect duo of TLRs. I'd love to see some of your
photos!
For a stubborn camera-ignorant like me, the same decision has abided for
years: loathe the frustratingly simplified unmanipulable cameras/lenses but
loathe the complicated learning required for exploiting manipulable
cameras/lenses----and end up using the simplified ones, alas. P'raps that's
why I illustrate [sketch]---much simpler than photographing, and requires
only a pen and paper.
Continuing conundrum: I love the 'heightening' [read: altering to suit] of
a subject that drawings confer, but also love inspired photos. Prob?
Inspired photos require immense talent and applied study as well as much
equipment. You can guess my ultimate decision <lazy sigh>. However, for a
website to display poetry pamphlets and their poets.....well, video reality
may be the best medium. Now that I write this, I wonder if 'tis really
true. . . .........
Best,
Judy
