If you want to enter them in a gallery, a show, or a competition, or publish them in a book, you have to eventually get them into digital form. You would end up sending the 100% non-digital print to be displayed, true, but it would first have to be accepted and everybody wants digital files to review. If you are only going to hang them on your wall or keep them in a drawer, you can still be 100% non-digital, but any form of sharing or showing these days requires a digital file. I went to a juried show at the Light Factory in Charlotte featuring about the works of 6 different photographers. The curator told me that he had selected the works based completely on viewing them on the internet. He was very disappointed when he saw how one of the photographers had framed and displayed his work and said he would not have included that photographer if he had seen the actual prints!
