Oh.

But what if I don't want a more accurate representation of reality?

I mean, that's why I use black and white.

That's why I like shadows as well as light.

I mean, I like grain.  Sometimes.


And what about saving all these digital shots?  Instead of negative holders 
you go with billions of CDS that you have to update when CD moves to DVD and 
then DVD moves to EVD and EVD moves to FVD?

I'm still missing it.


Maybe the BIG proponents of digital can explain it.
