The ART of photography,,,, is it dead?????

( Oh but the computers can do so much more and so much better[img]/emoticons/emotion-4.gif[/img]) Yea right, foowee on that.

If you're don't find things easier with a computer, you don't have to use one. But many people do a lot of good work with computers, and some of it I would call true art.

I have maintained for nearly twenty years now that the best use of a computer is to fill it with cement and use it for a boat anchor.

Perhaps that is the best thing you can think of to do with a computer, and that's fine. Others have found better uses.

However if you fall into that category and you want to voice your feelings on this subject,, that your telling how great the digital world is over analog please take into account that is about the same as someone that has never had children trying to tell people that have children how to raise them.

If I raise my children differently than you raise yours, it doesn't mean I don't have children, nor does it mean I'm telling you how to raise yours. Shoot with film all you like. But to say that art is dead just because you don't like digital seems like a rather egotistical and myopic point of view.


I think the digital world is great. My opinion is that it allows much
more flexibility and creative freedom than film. If most people agree
with me, does that mean art is dead?
