This seems to look like futuristic science fiction. :) Like people have forgotten about sex because of a government-imposed test tube reproduction program, but going back to sex again because it's the best way to achieve their images. :)Just out of curiosity, who amoung the group is archiving their digital images back to film?
I've seen more interest in this here in Perth where the digital phenomenon swept all but a few commercial photographers into the electronic media almost as soon as digital cameras became available. Recently though with the fear of unreadable CD's, crashed drives or spending hours PSing images only to have to attempt to mimic the output again from a retrieved original file, film backups have become increasingly attractive to many.. and the irony hasn't been lost on all of them either.
The convenience of starting with a digital file is still a major issue, having an image ready to go the moment the shutter has fired still has great appeal and many advantages for the working pro, but so does having the double backup of both film and electronic images, and outputting back to film is presently a costly excersize. The question as whether to start digital and have the resulting output laid on film, or start on film and then scan has not become a debate many have faced yet, but I can see it on the wind.
