Under the Tuscan sun

Photrio should kick you out for presenting a 4 X 5 film negative and saying, indeed, deceiving us, that this is the product of Tim Cook.

For this film lover to detract from this image would be futile and just plain wrong. The resolution, contrast, and 'grain' are utterly astounding. We are in a new era here and although film has attributes that invade one's blood in a positive manner, and the race to the finish has not yet been fully achieved, your presentation causes me to say 'WOW'.

Now, don't say you sharpened it. - David Lyga

Lol, rest easy, no sharpening. Nothing at all except black-and-white conversion in-phone.

You annoy me because you are stealing me from film. - David Lyga

Fear not, I annoy myself. I have not put a frame thru my Rolleiflex since I moved a few of years ago and lost my darkroom. There are a couple of community darkrooms within a 40 minute drive but I am simply not making it happen.

The iPhone is its own tool, like a Minox or a Deardorff. As such it certainly has its limitations but also some strengths. I am having fun but I have no idea if anything I have shot on it can be enlarged larger than 5x7 inches! To me, photography is all about the print so I do worry that I am wasting my life with the iPhone at present.
