I don't think film photography is going away at anytime just because
of digital. As many have opined, I would find no joy in sittin in front of
computer
looking for the best one in Lightroom/Photoshop.
Nice catch. For myself, photography has pretty much ground to a halt
simply because I don't like image editing in front of a computer. It's
somewhat of a bone of contention between my wife and myself.
I want to build another darkroom (mine had to go as part of our big home
reno of a few years back), she wants the space for other purposes.
She wants pretty pictures on the wall, I find the process of image
editing on a computer so painful that I would almost rather have my
fingernails pried off with bamboo slivers than make digital pictures.
I've tried compensating by buying some 70 lenses in the past decade
because I am somewhat of a lens geek, and I was hoping that I would find
the holy grail in a piece of glass. That didn't work so well, all I have
to show for it is 70 mostly unused lenses. I've bought every major new
and improved camera that Pentax has come out with in the hope of finding
a spark of magic in some scrap metal and plastic, and what I have to
show for that is several very lightly used digital cameras.
I bought a very expensive 17 inch Epson printer, hoping that being able
to print large prints would do it for me, and for this I have gone
through several thousand dollars worth of ink cartridges doing nozzle
cleanings to make a hand full of pictures on it.
I bought a Q in the hope that something fun sized would bring some fun
into the picture, but the unfortunate fact is, everything I have done in
the past decade is dependant on sitting in front of a computer to make
something I can hang on the wall, and I hate sitting in front of a
computer making pictures.
I'm an award winning film photographer who has only made a couple of
dozen prints in the past decade since going digital.
So, the above quoted email, that ghost from the past that you have
regurgitated, has proven nothing other than I was right about myself.
