Otherwise we would need to treat paintings as photographs when the painter, such as Vermeer, used a device like a camera obscura to project an image onto the canvas, but then used his paint to capture and fix the (non-latent) image. In photography it is a pinhead full of angels (how many?) who capture the image. -- Cheers, Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
