For me, teething on film, using document and microfiche film to capture the greatest clarity possible against all odds as film simply lacks the clarity I demanded it was wonderful and liberating to eschew film forever. The rapidity of self criticism with digital tech allows one to evolve much more quickly and explore new avenues that film cannot both for its own limitations but also the paucity of results since no one can shoot enough on film and develop all the films and be certain of any results until long after the experience of taking the pictures. Some might like that. I did not. Even though early digital image making was crude and less than film, it was not long before the process went to extraordinarily superior. The slow demise of photography with the rising of seriously deficient analog video was the death knell of many photo magazines and journals but the advent of the digital medium was the renaissance of both image making and the present plethora of print magazines and online sites is the proof of this. It is a new age.
