Since we were discussing Star Trek, and this is a photography group, I thought these two quotes right on topic. "For a period of time, I carried cameras with me wherever I went, and then I realized that my interest in photography was turning toward the conceptual. So I wasn't carrying around cameras shooting stuff, I was developing concepts about what I wanted to shoot. And then I'd get the camera angle and do the job.

Oh I don't know you should check out the presidents club. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...s-club-scandal And what does that have to do with charging for autographs at fund raisers.

Did we miss any images? I am still in Cape Town. I arrive home on March 8. I feel a bit silly, as very little of my time has been behind a camera, and I came loaded with two cameras, and a bunch of lenses. I have a good opportunity tomorrow to grab some shots. With any luck I should get a keeper or two. -- Regards, Savageduck |

What has autographs got to do with fund raising for charity. Read the thread. Or, do you equate groping at fund raisers, with charging for autographs. Pretty much yes. On second thought, maybe there is a moral equivalence between unwanted groping and charging for autographs at charitable fund raisers. What's meant by unwanted groping unwanted by who ? Don't forget the charity who was going to gain over 1/2 million quid is still trying to decide whether or not they should give the money back. -- PeterN -- PeterN |
