I agree with you that it would be wonderful if all footage could be preserved with maximum spatial and temporal resolution, and maximum dynamic range (and, for that matter, some day become part of the public domain!) All I was saying is tha

As other people have commented, the medium is part of the artwork. To quote a comment from above: "If Leonardo could have taken a picture of Mona Lisa instead of painting her, would it be in the Louvre today?" Also, the days of watching ju

Same here, I use a fixed-height desk and a drafting chair. That seems like a much simpler solution than moving a heavy desktop with -- potentially -- lots of stuff on it that could tip over. It didn't occur to me until I read a comment he

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes (which I suppose was made in the context of the "devil's music" scare of the 1970s/1980s): "There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one an

Indeed, he speaks so loudly at times, and in such a declamatory manner, that it cows people, who sometimes assume they’ve angered him. “When I open my mouth,” he noted, “the room rings.” “I’ll match wits with anybody,” he says. “I don’t
