Photographers of this day and age are at a crossroads. Some swear by the convenience and newness of their digital machines, while others would sooner drown in their baths of Dektol and Photoflo. Digital and analog photography are very different beasts, but they cannot be extricated from one another. At some point in the analog workflow, the image is scanned into bits and bytes, massaged in some editing program, and dispersed into the intertubes. Digital photography would be nothing if not for its predecessor, in fact, great lengths are taken to emulate the analog feel.
Without pretense, I consider myself an amateur photographer and surely no expert in the field of photography. I am a student at a university in the Pacific Northwest, and although I do some photography work, it is first a hobby and a source of pleasure. This blog is a reflection of my experiences as both an analog and digital photographer.
