Sprocket holes: Yes or no?

[Maris]

Out of all the published pictures featuring sprocket holes that I saw last year I can't think of any that were done on film.

Give-aways include repetitive frame numbers, wrong aspect ratio, wrong number of sprocket holes per frame, images not matching film data and so on. Adding sprocket holes via Photoshop has become so ubiquitous that the mere sight of a sprocket hole screams FAKE!

And, I fear, it reflects a mentality in the image maker that trickery is clever and it is cool to deceive.

You who disfavor sprocket holes in the image haven't found the right gallery owner promoter or critic yet.
When you do it will be the hottest thing going and you'll become more famous and wealthy than you can imagine.
