So why has the photo to geek ratio taken such a turn around here recently? I think it’s because in the geek world I can’t seem to find anything new to talk about.

Weblogs, RSS, CSS, Flash, Open Source, you name it. Seems like all that’s left is the tweaking.

These men (and they are all men) have no interest in art or photography because they have no souls. Lacking souls they cannot express imagination or feeling, which is why their images, if they ever bother to make any, suck.
