Re:OT: Film or digital

2008-09-18 by Dennis Baecht

I've given this digital stuff a try, and it just doesn't do anything 
for me. It does have a good place in news and family photography. 
I started shooting large format B&W 40 years ago on the 27 of this 
month. I stopped for a year to shoot strictly digital and I'm going to 
quit digital for anything but family snapshots. This thread started me 
evaluating how the last year has gone, and I made the decision to 
clean my darkroom up and start it up again. If they stop making film I 
still know how to make wet colloidial plates and I use Pyro and have 
enough film frozen to last 20 years.
You folks can have all this techno stuff.
