\"\"<\/a>In my last post here titled \u201cORIGINALLY POSTED ON OUR OLD BLOG; Saturday, January 17, 2009; WHERE HAVE ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHY CLUBS GONE?\u201d I tried to make the point that the failure to promote and teach ultimately leads to the loss of knowledge and processes that need to be preserved. In that post I was particularly hard on the photography clubs and their failure to promote and maintain the many facets of the art of photography. Photography clubs have become, for the most part, computer clubs. They ignore the other facets of the craft and even tout the lie that digital is all there is in the entire universe. This to me short changes everyone and leads to a loss of other beautiful and useful photographic processes. It also leads to pure ignorance among those that are interested in entering into the art form.<\/p>\n

Below is a review sent to me from a photographer friend of a Nikon F6 camera that someone purchased through Amazon. At first this was funny to me, then I thought it was a joke, and finally the hard and sad truth began to sink in. This represents the sad state of affairs today. Read this review;<\/strong><\/h4>\n

“This review is from: Nikon F 6 – SLR camera – 35mm – body only (Electronics)
\nCamera will not work with CompactFlash or other digital media. You must buy a cartridge of tape, which allows for just 24 shots. No LCD screen with image playback. Very disappointed and returned.”<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

HERE is the link to the original review on the Amazon web site.\u00a0 Sorry, the original review has been removed. . .<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Read some of the comments to this supposed \u201cReview.\u201d At this writing there are eleven pages of comments. Guess I will go find a roll of that tape. I don\u2019t know whether to laugh or cry???<\/strong><\/h4>\n
