You didn't understand my statement. I'm not arguing in favour -or  
against- of this or that, there is no matter if the cost is high or  
low, in the end a cost is a cost, and should be counted.

With digital photography people tends to skip expenses hiding  
themselves behind other uses of the stuff, when in fact you - or me  
for the case - wouldn't updated the computer, the software, the  
printer, or whatever else we did if we weren't in need of processing  
such stuff, to do not tell that the comparaison with shooting film  
about savings in processing is faux for those who do not make a living  
out of photography, just because most of us never shot such amount of  
pictures/day never ever before, and well, if you ask me most of them - 
mines first- are just useless crap.

Digital for amateurs is wondeful as long as the amateur likes it, but  
there is no need to exceed the facts.




I feel better, to hell with photography, art, women, and all
