[rollei_list] Re: [OT] film vs digital

The photographer manipulated the source of light through lenses, shutters
and irises in order to selectively activate certain silver halide crystals
didn't he?  In the case of digital photography we simply extend this process
to include programmed algorithms to contribute to the process.
Photographers have been using algorithms for years to come up with results -
its called thinking.

Another way of putting it - Let's go back to cave dwellers.  Caveman Ralph
has just discovered that attaching animal hair to the end of a stick allows
him to alter the thickness of the pigment he is using to represent a bison.
However, he is stoned by his fellows for moving beyond the mundane mono
thickness produced by a plain stick dipped in pigment.

2)Robert, I prefer as syntax the silver grains burned
by the light directly , they are better representative
about the light than an electronic signal interpreted
by software talking about artistic expression.-
