"This isn't about learning photography, for kids it's about being retro/hip/individual."
This is always the bash that insecure digital mavens throw out when trying to justify their insecurity over analog photography.
If film is so dead, why are you so incredibly insecure about it?
"Once you've got that down, then you can fool around with old analog photography."
Yeah then "old analog photography" will eat your short-attention span, "put it on auto" ass, because it takes dedication, a tiny bit of patience and a bit of determination.
Anyone can bang away thousands of times and luck into a good image.
Good luck on your road to mediocre images...
It's much faster than making them look like crap in photoshop. Face it, digicrap is digicrap; a disposable medium for the terminally lazy. Just put it on auto, hose down the scenery and spend 10 hours torturing a medicre shot into a weird by product of CGI. Instagram pisses so many self styled artists off because it accomplishes the same relative effect in a few clicks. Ha!
And, I think I'll just wade through all the speculation and theories to decide for myself, rather than allow opinions like your to take away that option.
Your stance is just as rote and predictable as those you oppose.
For me, I prefer tin hat and all, rather than a outright dismissal of things that are improbable or even impossible.
Wow. A double, super whammy, reverse psychology AC posting on Slashdot! Can someone cast a bronze plaque real quick?
I highly doubt it has EVER happened before!
Like an old Cajun I used to work for would say. when faced with an obvious denial of reality, "
I deleted 500+ photos and am staying off until I am sure they have really recanted their rights-grab TOS. If not, away goes my account on the 15th of January. Place ads, use my images *with* permission or lose a ton of accounts. Simple.
7 public domain, silent films scanned @ 3K full aperture from the original 35mm nitrate prints, along with the 2K and HD derivatives And about 1TB of personal data/ etc from about 1987 or so. It's a mess I wil be trying to dedupe and catalog with a DAM like ResourceSpace. I hates data wrangling, yes I does!
That's Wonderful! I thing we "
Well, that should be "I think" and I really didn't mean to give myself a point... arrggggg....
That's Wonderful! I thing we need to include an interactive database on White Collar Criminals, Speeding Ticket Offenders, People who donated to Political Causes and Estimated Annual Income!
Pure pandering to a bad situation to foment strife and drum up sales. The database contributes nothing but conflict to the situation. It is petty, vindictive and unhelpful.
Journalism is no longer practiced. We have regressed to the "sob-sister" and "yellow journalism" movements of the preceding century.

Stellar rays prove fibbing never pays. Embezzlement is another matter.
