Thoughts on essay

Ever since i could remember the ways of digital and regular film were completely different. I always thought that film was the way to go and digital had no hands on feel to it at all. Especially, since back then printers were not all they cracked up to be. I still remember the ones that were loud and noisy and did not print well at all. However, as i grew accustom to the new age of digital and slowly pushed my self into that part of photography, i really got a sense of what it was all about. I do believe that in order for one to master digital it is important to understand the history and knowledge of color and black and white photography. When i was reading the essay I tried to really read what he was saying. I found it very interesting how he would juxtapose one comment from another author to his own. I especially liked how he said that digital is another form of photography just as there were different types of painting movements in the early 1700s. Also, i found it interesting how he used the concept of jurrasic park, to show how merging of old and new ways can make something awesome. Finally, i do agree that digital can be too perfect, but what is wrong with being perfect, because don't we strive for that in our own lives anyway!
