Eventually, I would like to buy a film reader so that the negatives can be digitized directly into the computer. For now, I have to scan the prints, and my scanner isn't so hot. There's something very organic about using film and a prime (i.e., not a zoom) lens and having the anticipation build while you're waiting to see if the photos turned out well. I like digital's instant gratification, but film teaches patience more effectively.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133620064728357184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19108210.post-13440841971358317662007-08-30T10:22:00.000-04:002007-08-30T10:22:00.000-04:00Great portraits.

My grandfather was born on Ludlow Street and your Dad was born right down the street and we are both so drawn to the neighborhood where they were born -- literally -- they did not go to hosptials in those days to give birth unless you had the money. You and I don't agree on everything but I feel connected and I love your photography and feel simpatico with your passion to be here and our creative expression.<BR/><BR/>You are Bob's and Lorcan's equal in the depth and passion of your photography! I love the boxing photos and the martial arts ones too!<BR/><BR/>Love and admiration,<BR/>Suzannah B. TroyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
