My point is that I like film. I like playing with the chemicals and making prints in the darkroom. I like the fact that my M only has two dials and one button. I like the way film looks, and enjoy mastering the craft. Making a beautiful image with these rather primitive and archaic tools is a challenge I greatly enjoy. I don't care if the next wiz bang Canon XB338-XMP is sharper than 35mm film. If that was such a pressing criteria I would have switched to medium format years ago. Photography is/can be an artform. It's not a weenie measuring contest. As it is I spend way too much time in front of a computer. Tonight is a perfect example. I am stuck at work, slaving away at my computer for some halfwit client, who can't decide what color he wants his sky to be. The last thing I want to see in my spare time is another computer screen or be beeped at by some electronic contraption.
