I think that the point you may be missing is that not all of us involved in
alt-photo may be as far along in the learning process as you, or some of the
others. Does that make us any less valuable? I sincerely hope not.
While I realize that it may well be inconvenient to take the time or effort
to answer what might at the moment seem to be an insignificant or inept
question, how well esteemed will it make "you" look in the end? Patience
truly is a virtue. (As a mother of five I can tell you that there are times
in which it is in short supply...)
Rather than being irritated by these questions, perhaps you should feel
honored that someone out there recognized that you might well know more than
they do, and hoped you might teach them a bit about your craft.
I remain,
ginette
