Ok..so where are we digital or traditional. ( man, I hate these kinds of discussions, but here goes) Traditional for B&W/fun ?? Digital for color ?? Gosh, I'd say whatever clicks your BIC. Yes, digital is easier?? and more convenient. And... B&W..owww the smell of those chemicals (yes, I know it affects some, so bear with me, I'm not insensitive to your plight ). Maybe the smell of acetic acid and the fixer stains on the wall have me in their grip. I personally like darkroom work. I seem to be more creative there. No, I'm not knocking digital, for they both have their purposes, both + and -. I'm used to darkroom work. With digital, however, I'm just a raw beginner. I'm going to learn digital because I don't know how to do it well and that gives a new opportunity for learning. Now there is the real fun. Bill Ellis wb9cac@attbi.com
