First post ....
just want to say how overwhelmingly beautiful it is to find you all here .... too many stories too long to share, but just briefly, former journalism / magazine editing/production student, spjx member, hospital p.r. flack,
newspaper reporter and freelancer ... as well as chronic student in the field of depression ...
in a recent discussion of photography with therapist centered around past interests, analog vs. digital came up.... sadly, he is a convert to digital. I tried, rather poorly, to explain why photography still, to me, means the capturing of light on film, the sometimes agony and sometimes serendipity of seeing, composing, and creating, before the shutter blinks, from my eye to final image. Bless his heart ... he was only trying to help me solve my Gordian knot of image storage and retrieval and showed me his Lightroom files on his pc.... "but that's not photography" I thought to myself as he showed me the many manipulations he could do ... "thanks, but no thanks."
It left me wondering if I am the only one left in the universe who understands the exquisiteness of writing on film with light.
Thank you all for being here. I have a feeling delving into this community is going to be a bit of the salve my soul has been searching for. Looking forward to it.
