between presenting an interesting picture and presenting an historically accurate record. There's a place for both in my photography and it took someone mentioning that Ansel Adams did a shed-load of processing in the dark room to affect how how the final result looked. If it's good enough for AA it's good enough for me. 
Now I just gotta work at it and learn when to use what and how much. This doesn't mean I won't bring every artistic molecule of my being to bear on what I look at in the viewfinder but it's nice to know (and liberating while shooting) that I have a toolbox of things I can use to make an interesting picture.
Thank you all for the kind words. There's so many great photographers in this group it makes me feel great to know some enjoyed my stuff!
