Re: Slightly off topic but interesting reading ....
The Flemish were the first to use radiosity in their paintings - the effects
of objects illuminating one another.
It's fun to think about what people from the past would have done with
today's technology. I think most of them were innovative interesting people
who would have loved digital. For example, I think Ansel Adams would have
embraced the ability to digitally capture images, and then manipulate them
real time.
Edward Weston is a more interesting one to thing about. He used an 8x10
view camera so that he could pre-visualize the final image exactly, at its
final size. But he was a grumpy enough individual that he would probably
grouse about digital and Photoshop, just as he groused about working in the
darkroom, paper stocks, etc.
