Kodachrome was my choice when I wanted color, but that's kaput, so now I tend to photograph mostly in monochrome , except the autumn months, when color adds something. ----------------------------------------- And Vick Ko wrote: >I have a "I don't really care" feeling when I shoot a digital photo, or >when I'm off-loading >the data onto the hard drive. ---------------------------------------------------- Me too. I tried walking around with just my 30D while I ran some errands yesterday, but ended up deleting the few pictures I took, getting this feeling in my gut that color was superfluous, and that I wanted to have a tangible end product of my efforts, not a transient collection of 0's and 1's. It seems I hardly ever look at my digital pictures after they're on a hard drive and CD's, so it's almost like they are gone already, but I enjoy flipping through prints or slide sleeves. Even contact sheets are fun. And once in a while I'll pull out the Ektagraphic and project some images. As George says, YMMV. ;~) Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer UPAA POY 1978 University Information Technology Services University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/
