Why do you shoot film? Why do you shoot digital? IN ONE WORD EACH...

[Turtle]

I shoot both but my heart is with film:

Film is beautifully Imperfect
Digital: All too tempting to make Perfect

 

[rgpadron]

Film: Contemplation
Digital: Cloning

 

[Gereonb]

Film : anticipation
Digital : boredom

 

[dave lackey]

Better...quicker

 

[filmtwit]

I can't put it to two words, but this is my general feeling about film and digital.

They are similar, but not the same.

 

[Foto-factotum]

Film: Rifle
Digital: Machine-gun


Or

Film: Gourmet
Digital: Fast-food

Film = lame
Digital = best

You must not be from around here

Film - Lasting
Digital - Fleeting

 

[Ade-oh]

Film = fulfillment

Digital = convenience

 

[Micah]

Hard.
Easy.

(This echoes posts #5 and #35: when shooting for myself, I take pleasure in the challenges of film; when I have to deliver for friends or clients, I need the guaranteed results of digital.)

Contax II - LP - ritual

Metaphorically speaking, of course...
