I watched until I saw him put them on a scanner.

...Frankly, I wasn't really impressed with most of those shots...

Oh, whew! I'm not the only one that thought that project was a waste of a perfectly good Tachihara.

I watched until I saw him put them on a scanner.

So the images were acceptable enough to pique your interest to watch. Then you stopped because he uses a process you don't think it belongs.

All these times, I thought it's the image that matters.

(Personally, I don't think the images are great either, but that's another story)

Maybe we should ALL consider giving him a pat on the back and some positive reinforcement, rather than a slap in the face, for even attempting to shoot this kind of project onto 8x10. No matter the originals being RC paper negatives...
I'm sure he has a (constricted) budget to work with, so he's using ingenuity to create something different rather than just settling for shooting it on digital like of of you tightwads here most likely would

I tip my hat to him.
