Very interesting shot of the woman on the bed with the leopard skin cover and the old style furniture gives it a clean look with an additional one point perspective gives it a classic look. Don't know if digital can reproduce the kind of style and feel these days without photoshopping it? These images were chemically produced and created by time involvement. These shots had to be set up and carefully done in order to get the shot that you see now. Today's digital can go through hundreds of exposures and just discard the ones you don't like. And although the chemical days are in decline, digital has shown it's strength as technology moves forward. And perhaps the debate moves on with photography of film versus digital just like in music of vinyl versus CD. And the beat goes on.


ThreeCrows: Very interesting shot of the woman on the bed with: "I've worked in small, medium and large formats in the past. I had an old Speed Graflex camera at one time that got stolen along with some other cameras but I did shoot some interesting black and white stills with that camera. In looking back at that, digital could not reproduce that surreal allure that the image produced. Now that digital is here and the megapixel rates keeps increasing, the need to hang on to that era slips further away. If I still had the Graflex, it would be a collector's item just like an old Brownie is now. Still, being a photographer today means accepting the latest gizmo that brings out the brightest reds and clearest image that retains its focus no matter how much you blow it up. I took some great images of a harvest moon the other night with my digital Nikon and 500mm lens. It's hard not to bemoan the days of film when you see these images. Kodachrome will be lost on the next generation but it did pave the way for technology to meet that standard, I still have some good slides from that process. Preserve your memories, that's all that's left you."
