One of the things I...I so damn' agree with you. One of the things I'd hoped to become and never successfully did was a drafter; I would have been so at home in the pre-AutoCAD world, but by the time I graduated LBCC back in '90 with an Associates in Drafting Technology they were well on the way to CAD (AutoCAD Release 10 was the big thing) and I was only able to score one drafting job and ...pfft... that was it.<br /><br />But I can never and will never forget the sensation of drawing those lines ... I remember that was as close to Zen as I got in those days, there was a timeless feel as each line was laid, and I think it showed in every well-done drawing. They were all art to me, even though they were dry and technical to everyone else. Real accomplishment.<br /><br />Thank you for your beautiful comment. I sure hope to see you again over here.Samuel John Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514541030057763303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-15513253404453096002012-10-10T07:53:53.917-07:002012-10-10T07:53:53.917-07:009H, It has been some time since i scratched paper ...9H, It has been some time since i scratched paper with such an instrument. The beautiful art of drafting is all but forgotten by the electric media world. The deft and magic of a beautiful drafted detail can not be matched by CAD. long live the hand!mclhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464565192570706726noreply@blogger.com
