I'm a fan. When I got into computers it wasn't all about mega-corporations and market share. It wasn't about who had the most expensive newest hardware or software. It was about (to me anyway) at it's best, elegance. You learned how to "code" and use a soldering iron. What you could do was more important than what you could buy.

I started shooting pictures with the same attitude. What could I add to the field. Could I make a difference. I don't feel the need to be popular or profitable. I just want to be better than I am - not better than anybody else.

Okay - that's at least to some extent, a load of hooey. At the heart of it, I'm cheap. (poor too, but that's all relative isn't it) So I love and use and promote open source software. It's great stuff, exciting in a better sort of way and the price is exactly right.

Bottom line - check this out !
