[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 220058, member: 9240"] Because I was never a "real photographer" prior to that. As a musician, I embraced the forays of guitar amplification into the digital realm, and while I saw its shortcomings I also saw its value. So, after snapping photos on P&S cameras, when I decided to become "serious" it wasn't even a question - it's what there was. I'm "old", but my photography is born of this age, having used the old Sony's that shot straight to 3 1/4" floppies. What I love is that everything I learned about photography from my brother back in the film days is still applicable - though some things are more practical than others. The darkroom was my greatest nemesis when I gave it a shot back in high school, but the digital darkroom is something I've embraced. I understand the appreciation for film, but not from a purely personal point of view. [/QUOTE]
