Adam,

Interesting experience and point of view. I can't share it, I don't have
experience with digital, and maybe the worst is that I'm neither attracted
by the digital.

Thanks for your comment, maybe I'll have the same idea as you on the
future...

Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis

If you had written this five years ago, Luis, I'd have agreed with
you. But now I find that, using digital cameras, I'm shooting in color
but knowing I'll be printing the image as black and white and so
that's what I'm looking for when I'm shooting.

Now I know I'll be taking the image and running it through a B&W
conversion process. I've learned to see differently - perhaps more
completely.
