I like and approve of analogue photography. I don't really like digital. It makes most images now. But large format photography is a challenge and requires a lot of skill, you have to get it right there at the moment of capture. There's something real about having been in a place, and done a physical thing to record a moment in a way. Digital just...everything's filtered... nothing feels real. And whilst you can do a LOT of darkroom tricks like slicing two negatives together and using filters to highlight things, there's a limit.

But again, It's what I like. Some will agree, some will not. I'm happy with what I like and see stacks of digital art I just find myself more drawn to non digital stuff. It perhaps is a side effect of working with tech all day.
