Photography is equal parts shooting and choosing what to show?

[__--]

Hi again, you seem to have neglected to respond to this Mitch, an oversight I expect

Stewart - I didn't reply because I thought that a VM discussion is off-topic here. Also, I think the answer is in my post #6, in which I said that I am not one of the admirers of VM. Then I quoted Jörg Colbert's view, but I would not express my view as strongly as he has because I haven't looked at the work as much as he has. Not sure what your point is, but my feeling is that this thread should not be hijacked to discuss VM.

... "yes" would have sufficed

ah, I see you've edited post No.6 ... thanks for the clarification

Bad news:
There is no such category as "film photography", just photography.
If your images are good enough, they are. No matter what was the medium of your choice.
IMHO, all the first part of the OP just misses the point.
Replace "film photography" by "Leica photography" and you'll see what I mean 😉

that about covers it
