I agree about the labeling or not. If the first thing someone notices

One could say the same thing about any genre of the arts though,
especially if it happens to be something that they have decided to have
a hate on for.
I took me years to come over to digital at all, remember - you guys
dragged me kicking and screaming.
well regardless of whether it is done with HDR or posterizing in
photoshop, its true I don't like the look of that stuff... realizing
this is intensely personal... It is the theatricality of it ... too
vivid. And I hate the stuff I did like that, too. but I leave it
on my web site hoping some fool will want some anyway.
Don't like the circus, Cirque de Soleil, laser shows, rock concerts,
prize fights, horror films, etc... either... doesn't matter how well
they do it.
What has become the de rigueur HDR is just another way of making pictures,
no more or less valid than any other, and shows no more, or less
originality than snapping a picture of someone jumping over a puddle
in Paris and being lauded as a master.
and as you surely know, that's one of my favorite images :-) and yet..
there is a funny similarity there... it is that he snapped at just the
right moment that makes it interseting in addition to the nice geometry
- we do see the technique...
