Glad you didn't wait to confess... but your caption told the story all
along.

What i think i recognize, after looking at all your energetic digital
images, is how much fun you are having with the digital. It's obvious. And
although digital has little attraction for me at this moment, I wonder if or
why you would ever go back to film now that you have learned the ins and
outs of making such excellent digital images with what is apparently such a
competent piece of equipment.

You say (below) that with digital you don't have to wait to get the film
back to see how things turned out, but your body of film work indicates that
you have more than a little reason to expect that you'll get good results
using film.

So fess up: are you tilting to digital (or have you tilted already)? And
what place will film play for you in the future?
