Hey Wayne,


Interesting premise. IMO, "Art" with a capital "A" is really in the eye of the beholder. To extend your logic into the realm of music, do you listen to classical music only? Did the "True Art of Music" die with the composers of the 1800s? Personally, I derive as much enjoyment from Billie Holiday and Blink-182 as I do from Beethoven, from Snow Patrol and Santana as I do from Strauss.


From a purely convenience standpoint, speaking as one who developed negative film by hand and made prints with an enlarger, dodging and burning in, etc., followed by developing the prints with trays and tongs...I can say that I find the digital process much, much easier.
