      stryker7x we can never afford more of him. This is the real education, not the degree papers that kids nowadays are being forced to chase by their folks generation. We've turned attention towards the need for more money. We've ruined the environment that should have natured such skills. We've lost it all, at the point of no return.

      I understand the "Folks generation" thing. But please remember Marx's theory of dialectics: Every thesis will provoke an anti-thesis. Every movement will provoke a counter movent. And mind you that the movement you're refering to has a counter movement! So much greater than you will believe :)

    Kenji works in photo engineering, he doesn't just repair cameras or enhances them, he takes wild ideas photographers have and creates something new to give the world another perspective all together. I worked for Nat Geo TV in a similar role but with motion picture and broadcast video. Kenji is also a great Photgrapher and loves taking panoramas the old fashion way, taking multiple pictures in-line and manually lining them together. Back in 1998 he took a picture of me in seven places doing different things all in one wide image. It's basically me cloned seven times. No doubt about it, he's multi-talented.

      @@rottenshutter8379 Photo Engineering at Nat Geo is no longer. The magazine and the way it’s run is different than in the past. The only related jobs would be for a manufacturer or equipment rental or repair.
