A year ago I was convinced I'd never shoot film again. Right now all I'm
shooting is film. So much for absolutes. 

In my kitchen I have a microwave and a gas range. My high-tech microwave
is like a DSLR. I use it a lot because I'm so busy with other things.
But it's not my favorite way to cook.

Nathan and Tina,  Your points are well taken. I'm not 100% for or 
against. I react more to those who wax over digital than to those who 
defend film.

Tina mentions sending images over the internet. I like doing that.

Nathan and others note that people have kept the photos from the past, 
but not the negatives. Others note they have the photos and negatives 
from the past.

Someone else noted enjoying getting the instant feedback on the photo 
taken. That's true, but there is also a lot of enjoyment when you 
develop your film and see how it all came out. The key word is 
enjoyment.

Then again, since I use fast film at slow speeds, I don't enjoy taking 
the film through airports and x-ray machines. Maybe I'll take my 
digital camera with me the next time I go to Europe, but then I do a 
lot of panoramic work and where do I find a digital, panoramic camera?

Doug
