Entering the digital age

So I finally bit the bullet and bought myself a digital camera.

I've been resisting the switch to digital for as long as I felt I could. There's just something about dropping the paper into the solutions and watching an image magically float up from nothing. You lose that with digital.

But, sadly, I fear the days of polycarbonate film and enlargers are nearing an end, and are being replaced with high-resolution CCDs and high-quality printers. I guess that this is what they call "progress."

Sigh.

At the end of the day, it was my mom, who has been resisting the change to digital even longer than I have, who convinced me that I would be stupid not to go digital. It's simpler, its cheaper, you can get high-quality prints with far less effort than with old-fashioned film. A lot less painting with light, and a lot more fiddling with pixels.

And if this whole PhD. thing doesn't pan out, my little bother says I'm all ready to start a career in amateur porn.
