RE: Defining "post-modernism" -- WAS--- First define "post-modern"photography, dammit
Wow! I remember in photo chem Dr. Francis and Dr. Carroll (sp?) lecturing us on "induction period"...the amount of time it takes between mixing the re-agents and when the reaction begins. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, I seem to recall sending my question about Post Modernism a few weeks ago but MAHN! What a wonderful reaction has finally taken place. Thanks so much for all of your comments!!! I hope you don't mind that I have saved them in a file for my student who is working on her research paper. I will INSIST that she give you credits in the foot notes and bibliography if she uses your e-mails. Donca jess LOVE the internet in general and this list in particular?!?!? CHEERS!

Umm, my point was that different people focus on different things to define postmodernism; Jack's response is no exception to this observation. __________ NOD32 2665 (20071117) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
