Well, let me then amend my post: I think he's more a technician than a photographer concerned with the aesthetics and creativity involved in photographing a subject. I believe Mr.Papanfuss has stated that as well, at least to some degree.
Further - and this just may be me - I don't recall ever seeing any of his photographs posted here, although he does talk a lot of technical stuff. IMO, one may record a scene and be considered a photographer by some - and maybe just holding a camera and pushing the button makes one a photographer - but I think there's more to it than that, that some creativity beyond just recording a scene and looking for an accurate color reproduction contributes to the making of a photographer. But then, I have often been called an elitist snob Of course, Rob, you're very technically oriented, and might that not color your opinions just as my limited technical expertise may color mine?
