Hi Jim. I think that we film types are all on this path and share a common bond. We are a different breed. As CF stated, it's like sitting around a simple campfire. There are those who enjoy this intimacy. Others like to bring radio's, TV's, DVD players, motor homes and generators. I'm willing to bet that most film types prefer the simple camping route.
Film provides us with a means to this intimacy with the night sky. We capture the essence of the light. The photons which strike the film, and cause the reaction to record it's journey through time. We record what is given to us freely - the light. These are not pixels or images to be interpolated, integrated, or conjugated.
These are photographs. The essence of photography - the recording of light and shadow. We are the scribes of the light.
