The statement "still shooting film" sounds really old. I mean I started with digital and so did most of my friends. Nowadays everybody shoots film. To "still" be doing something would be noteworthy if that meant still be using a digital camera (phone excluded). I think HCB
probably would have jumped on the digital train fairly early, but as soon as he found out that the kind of work he wanted to do really did not require him to chose less quality for
convinience he would be back with film. I dont think of hcb as some pj who spent a few days on a story, uploaded 10000 files to the magazine and moved on. I think he wanted to produce real meaningful work which would stand the test of time. And when Leica would approach him and offer him money to start using the Monochrome he would have the integrity to say f*** you. Not just because he didn't need the money, but because he was stubborn and knew how to keep it real real.

I think he would say it is a bourgeois question.
