How has this become a digital vs film thread? :confused:
sigh
I agree. Everything hasn't been shot until I shoot it.

Michael - i don't get your drift. I don't take photographs due to ego. I want the experience of doing what I see, not what somebody else sees. I'm not implying I see it "better", but that it resonates with me personally. I doubt 1% of them will get printed, and of those maybe only 1% shown. And NOT shown on the stupid web. The internet is fine for gear talk etc. But for imagery it's below barbaric. When I say that a photograph is unique, it's because it is. I'm not interested in stereotypical postcards images anymore than pandering to academics who know far more about talk than actual visualization. I know, I know... I hear music and criticize that, even though I can't sing or play any instrument worth a darn. So call me a hypocrite. But this is a photography forum, after all. And that is something I can do.
I haven't been able to take a photograph in a couple months. I've taken some document images to remember how I took something apart but no photographs. I've stopped trying. Not satisfied with anything I do lately. phuk
Just maybe: there is no such thing as an objective photograph?
Martin, I hear you!
I think that periods like this indicate growth, because you/ your vision is evolving and you're no longer satisfied with the same old same old. Hang in there, it gets better again.
Thanks frank I needed that. Resisting buying new gear conveniently aided by no money. I have all the time in the world and cannot seem to find anything worth doing. Not worried about being different I've got that covered.
Here it was carpenters in the 70's who all dressed like pirates. Bikers had their own look depending on which "club" they belonged to. Now that the Hell's Angels are a legitimate international drug cartel they need to be sensitive to public relations and the advice of their lawyers, don't do quite a much raping and knifing as back in the old day; though bloody clashes with the Mongols still break out. Most big bike rallies
ban all these hard-core gangs, but do draw thousands of bikers who dress up like ruffians just for fun a few weekends each year. Then there were the hippies of course. Most of the remaining ones around here, where they began, were netted and taxidermied for a 60's diorama in the Smithsonian Museum. Took quite a while to get the odor out of their hides.
