There is a deep psychological rift between working with film and working with digital capture, which can be recognized from all the disagreeable debate and vitriol which pervades the mixed photo forums in the past several years. I've been writing notes for an article about it recently. I haven't shot any film at all for several years now, I've got twenty plus years of digital imaging experience in total. I'm thoroughly acclimated to the experience of working with digital capture. Despite that, I worked with film cameras from 1962 to 2002 ... long enough to have a lot of empathy and nostalgia for the endeavor. I'm interested in that psychological rift and how it affects the experience and expression of photography. This says that I will most likely dust off a couple of my remaining film cameras sometime soon and explore the Rift.
