I have had these thoughts on the back of my brain for a few days, since reading Doug Menuez’s post about digital photography making him lose his edge. With film, you really have to think harder. Even better stated, with modern, fancy-pants, bell-and-whistled wonder cameras, you just fire thirty shots in five seconds, go home, and pick your keepers.
Now, I am by no means the first to bring this topic up, I would not delude myself to believe so. I have read it on the Strobist, in history flicks about the greats of photography (notably Henri Cartier-Bresson), and as I just mentioned, from Doug Menuez…among many others. We must force ourselves to get that film-shooting edge, but how do we do that?
