Analoguian comeback?

NYT speaking about it: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/05/b...david-sax.html

From silver to silicon something was lost in translation.

Digital has a lot of good things, but silver photography has a powerful cultural heritage that in part has been overlooked by the digital way. It is very dificult to make something sound like La Pietà (Michelangelo) with 3D edition software and a 5 axis milling system. For Michelangello it was straight, the sculpture was inside the boulder and he only removed the stone that was covering it.

So what's for art a bare hammer can be better than a supercomputer. Young artists feel a call when they see that they can catch light with silver. Because the image is in the light, they don't want algorithms between them and the light.

We can also talk about technical excellence. Talking about Hollywood, really I don't understand how Vision 3 can be so technically superior to top dollar digital movie cameras. And this is 2017...

Killdeer, North Dakota does not have a camera shop.

Say it ain't so, Joe. Say it ain't so!

The entire State has few camera shops. No Ilford anywhere. Nearest B&W film to me is 3 hour drive and it is only Kodak and a limited selection. No large format unless it is 4x5 for the local college classes.

The quality of the light and air and people makes up for it. A good reason Tillman Crane does photo workshops here.
