Interesting. I've seen a lot of people who do their own inkjet printing. They have not had a good sense of color and images often suck. They would be better served going somewhere to have them done. Then again, I watch these guys in the drugstores butcher prints, too.
A friend bought a I-phone and load photos onto it. There are a few photos I wouldn't mind doing that with, but I don't think I'd spend $600 to display a few photos. My friend, in turn, probably wouldn't want to spend the time in the darkroom to get one good image that I do. We live in different worlds. I just hope I can do film as long as I live. Co-existence is all right with me as long as I can buy film, paper and chemicals.

Here is another thought on digi vs film. With digi more people produce good images but less people produce great images. I think that this is a trend that has stretched back to the time of painting. When one had to be very skilled to produce a great image.Along comes the sillouete image, the physionatrace sorry can't recall the spelling and democratises the whole image process, more people can do it but the overall quality goes down. I think the same is true today, more people now have the means to produce decent images, but it generally ends there.Marvin.

One is cheaper, faster, and more convenient; the other is high art.Peter Neberga--- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list ll
