Mark -

Again, high end magazines and catalogs still very LOW RES mediums. As
for whether or not digital dominating the walls or galleries, it
depends upon which gallery. Certainly, digital prints are not even a
pimple on the butt of major collectors and exhibitors.

As for this comment:

it is incorrect on both the facts and the implications. If you are
thinking that I am calling digital shooters sell-outs, I will once
again tell you that I have been using digital imaging systems
professionally since the mid 80s... far longer than you I expect.

In terms of integrity, I DO NOT CARE what camera or lights shooters I
work with use to get the job done. What I do care about it that so few
so-called still-shooting "professionals" really have the knowledge,
skill or talent to do what they are hired to do on a consistent basis.
There is a lot of baloney in the profession. I would be happy with
oatmeal boxes and pinholes if they successfully did what they were
hired to do.

My most successful shoots have often been with motion picture DPs
using their still cameras. Expensive but at least you get results.
