Sad to hear you're going through a dry spell.
It's not good to be uncomfortable with your tool in such times.
Wishing you "creative rain", whether it turns out to be digital or
film.

Hi Paul ...
I guess I've not completely wrapped my head around digital, although
I do
like some of the control that can be had, and I ~definitely~ like
not
having to process film. However, I'm not at all happy with the work
I've
produced, perhaps because the camera and have not made friends yet,
perhaps
because I'm just going through a creative dry spell, or perhaps I
just suck
... so much of my stuff is such drivel these days.

I can't answer for Bill, but I can say with certainty that digital
has
improved the quality of my work. It has certainly boosted my
photographic income. The car magazines I shoot for are thrilled
with
the accuracy that I can achieve in replicating the original color
of
the sheetmetal. The stock house I work with has mentioned that my
number of "keepers" has inrcreased dramatically in the past year.
Digital does present an opportunity to shoot a lot of junk, but it
also
enables one to work faster and better.
BTW, I enjoyed Bill's vacation pics. I don't think he intended that
trip to be a photo safari. He just snapped some casual pics along
the
way. I found the quality at least the equal to similar things he
has
shown in the past.
