The below quote comes from an interview with the photographer Ricky Adam about his forth coming book Destroying Everything. The Analogue V Digital argument is an ongoing one that may never be resolved satisfactorily. "What role does post production play? Is there a difference between working with chemicals and working in a ‘Digital’ darkroom as far as the ‘Legitimacy’ of the final image?
This was my response;
I fail to understand the entire hype of digital photography replacing analog photography. Just like most things in this world, photography has evolved into a digital form. Analog and digital photography have their respective places. Both have their pros and cons, right from various technical aspects, to the individual photographer.
Personally before I came to university, I hadn't explored analogue into too much detail. Therefore my outlook on analogue was shadowed by digital as this was all I really knew. You're always more comfortable with something you know and understand. However since being at university, at this precise moment in time I am enjoying using analogue a lot more. I agree with the comment that states, when using analogue you have to be more 'resourceful'. I find myself spending a hell of a lot more time sorting out my lighting, composition and subject to perfection before I press the shutter. Surely this results in a better picture?....
