This is one of the reasons for me to stop shooting digital.

On the analog issue, when you shoot film and optically print it in the
darkroom, that's pretty much an analog process don't ya think?


No. It's an imaging process.

You see there is no single opposite or alternate of "digital".

There
isn't much analog about a digital camera other than the light hitting
the sensor. After that point, it's all digital. The image is converted
to digital data before it ever leaves the sensor.


As I said, that's no real issue. I just mention it to illustrate the
point about what digital really is.

Anyway didn't mean to post this today as I had alreadyraised it before.
See my other, last post, on the issue of analog.

I hope you post your B&W work - even if that requires digitizing it.
