Re: Lost arts - film photography
I always wondered if, like vinyl, film photography would weather the digital storm and come out the other side triumphant as the better medium..

..it seems digital photography is simply too accessable, too dynamic and too easy for film photography...

but its scary, because there is something real, something physical and ultimately natural about chemical reactions... something that makes sense..

a needle bumping across a shining piece of your favourite vinyl is simply irreplacable.. one will never get the same feeling from a cd... and neither will one get the same from a digital photo...one of the hundreds and thousands that populate our computers.. there is nothing personal about them.. even when printed you know that it is simply a compromise..

its really sad to see reality die away..
