On 27/8/12, William Robb, discombobulated, unleashed: >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.
