The aspect of being limited to a resolution is very unnapealing to me. A single grain on regular film can hold (theoretically) unlimited amounts of detail, while a pixel is a pixel, one colour, and that's it. My point of view is this. I am heavily into computer design, and I use programs such as photoshop, rhino3d, etc, all the time. When it comes to photography though, I'll be sticking to "regular" photography for a long time. Maybe I'm just a purist, but I've seen work people have done on with large format cameras that kicks the living shyte out of anything I've seen in digital (this is from the people in the Dawson College darkroom here in montreal. their work is f'in incredible). the way I see it, I'll be ready for digital photography when I master analog photography. though it all comes down to personal preference (and I'm one of the few people on this forum that prefer analog to digital), my advice is to wet your feet in both forums. Look up the work of Jerry Uelsmann on the net, and you'll see what a darkroom is capable of (he did all of his work in the darkroom, most of it 20 years before computers could handle graphics in a somewhat feasible way, being around the 80's). ry
