We need to strip away the labels of "painting" or "photography" or digital 
imaging" or any others that may be suggested. To a large extent, when you 
make a committment to LF fine arts photography waht you are doing is deciding 
that you want to MAKE IMAGES not take pictures.  In the process of making 
images I believe you can let your technical and artistic skills and talents 
soar.  I use whatever I have available to achieve the image that I have 
preconceived in my minds eye.  Sometimes this will mean a devotion to high 
tech photographic equipment and materials exclusively.  Sometimes it will 
mean depending largely or solely on digital technology.  Sometimes (in fact 
most frequently) it will mean relying on a simple 4x5 camera and a few lenses 
followed by straightforward processing and printing.  Often it will mean a 
blending of both schools.
