kids and their kids friends? What is "real photography?" And why does
the particular camera used make it more real?

BD,

If it weren't for a few photographers out there who are using film, there 
would be no cross-reference for what actually happened. I have no doubt that even 
those shooting digital have film Nikons or Leicas that they use as backup.
