olor negatives. It’s sad how people today have all converted to the digital world. It hasn’t occurred to anybody that digital photography is completely not the same as traditional?... It’s sad to find out that artists like me who take traditional photography seriously isn’t able to develop a simple good quality 4x5 color negative. I’m trying to create an impression of lights into a masterpiece but am limited because of technology. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against it. I just don’t see why film photography has to disappear, because, let’s face it, it soon will and only artists like me will try to keep it alive. Struggling.Film photography has a completely different quality to digital. It’s tangible, it’s real. You don’t use a darkroom to load up your pictures on a computer waiting for it to do the work. Oh no sir! Darkrooms are used to actually witness the process of d
evelopment through lights and chemicals. As for black and white, you can actually see the image appear right before your eyes… it’s like magic! Why would we want to let this all go?Of course we all find that the traditional ways take more time, but so what? Time is all we have. If you think about it, technology is what makes everything go faster. I guess once you go fast, you don’t find any thrill in going slow anymore. But going slow may be what makes a better quality picture. Think about it.
