He also played for the Louisville Colonels. At least I stayed in the National League. 😛
Also, who was it that called Honus the greatest baseball player he had ever seen? None other than the great John McGraw of the GIANTS.
anaanda - sorry for highjacking your thread. I can relate to your story, however. I do give digital photography credit for rekinding my interest in photography. After a while, though, I missed the analog experience. For now, I am really enjoying using a rangefinder camera and film. Also, the Dodgers still suck 😀

Now I could say something nasty like why do they call them GIANTS.
Perhaps from visiting Balcor and "bulking up"? 😀
[Before the "evil one" named O'Malley took 'dem Bums west I was a DODGERS fan!] 😛

OK, fair enough. Of course, I could also bring up Jason Giambi. 😱

I can excuse just about any human weakness, but you are now stretching the limits of human tolerance. The Yankees are one thing, but dem Bums are another . :bang:

You know, that I route for the Red Sox and ANYONE else playing against the Yankees. 🙂 Well, except for my new home team which is hopeless (Diamondbacks).

I feel the same with my Eos 300D. However, I get the real rf feeling from shooting my R-D1. A bit pricey, I know, but hey, the feeling's worth it! 🙂

quite. Very much the same. I made a brief digi-jaunt, only to return passionately to film. I don't care that the D200 will produce images with as much resolution as a 35mm neg scanned. Or that it is smoother or grainless. It's fake. Like fake breasts, it might look good at first glance, but at closer inspection, there's nothing real there. Only a faint memory of life.
Today, my mother handed me a newspaper article - an entire section, really, about these photographers' pictures nad what they did to get the images. My first reaction, and without any processing or hesitation, was "Digital bastards!" - and that was that. I laugh about it now because of how naturally that exclamation came forth, and how well it resonates here on RFF.

nothing personal. That was just my first reaction. MY reaction. Very much an opinion. I wasn't considering your inital post when I wrote that.
Honestly, to every photographer, their own. I guess that fact that beside that ad was an ad for a bunch of point'n'shoot digicams being sold by the local retailer that is currently running all their film stock out of hte store. . . that just came together and made my yell.

Thanks for understanding that I had my "tongue-in-cheek"... I was rushing and forgot to put in the " 😉 ", " 🙂 ", or (just for you)... " 😛 ".

Boy, film vs. digital is nothing next to bats, balls and gloves.
But, virtual beer? Send one here and I'll buy the next round. 🙂

Agree... went full circle on the digital thing. Sad to see so many of the old film companies failing, like Minolta, and others going through some rough times, like Leica. My conclusion is digital isn't "all that". I enjoy the film process, making my own B&W prints in a darkroom, the cameras. My digital has a 12x optical zoom. I use it in place of a big-zoom lens. For everything else - film.
