restricting the scope of one's interest ought not automatically
be misconstrued as bigotry, luddism, or ignorance.  i am personally
not interested in digital at this time because photography is my
avocation, and working with computers outside of my vocation is
in no way appealing to me.  thus i am naturally far more interested
in analog photographic processes and results than in other forms of 
media.
