However, another advantage of film is the ability to let the images go un-viewed for a good period of time. I find this particularly helpful with emotional subjects. You need a bit of distance to be able to properly evaluate the results. Instant viewing can result in editing choices you would make differently a few months, or more, down the road. When I photographed my father's death bed, I deliberately delayed developing the film for a year. Best thing I ever did. You could still do this with digital I guess. Just turn the screen off and store the card for a while. Though it would probably require more self-control than I think I am capable of. John Collier PS: Certainly digital has arrived with regard to prints but how is it doing with projection. I love the projected slide so my question is: Is it possible to get excellent quality projection of digital files: say 4 feet by 6 six feet (1.2 x 2 m) viewed at 10 feet (3.2 m) distance?
