Talk:Digital photography

Digital photography is a moving target. As a writer for 2 photo magazines and the author of an eBook for first-time shoppers (www.acpress.com), I have strong opinions.

Digital photography has be usurped by the computer industry, and this is not a good thing. We are going from a situation where a glass negative from the 1800s can still be printed to a file that can only be machine read. And the industry making the machine thinks anything beyond 18 months is a long time!

Those needing archival records still need to think in terms of properly processed black and white film.

I enjoy digital photography, but I do not trust the industry that is behind it.
