I have seen the pictures of Russia from the early 1900's. I find it incredible how a photographer at that time could create such beauty. Now that we are in the digital era of photography those images can not be created. For example the use of the darkroom has been taken away from the photographer, instead replaced by a disk, which to be shown, needs the computer. We can no longer enjoy ourselves in the darkroom in a totally private surrounding. Instead we now have to rely on a CD. I feel by having the CD we are giving up our privacy as photographers. In the good old days we would develope our film with total control. Today we have to rely on a memory card and a computer to do this work. As a photographer myself I can I honestly say that digital images are not as good or better than film. I would like to have anybody prove me wrong. In closing I am saying, "the pictures taken in Russia on film are of days gone by.
Great images! This person's comment struck me as completely absurd. Taken away? What the hell are you talking about?! You can still do just about any old school process you want today. If you have access to the internet you have access to the information and materials most likely. Modern technology has made it even easier to use OLD technology. I mean, look at guys like John Coffer! You can still shoot glass plates, tintypes, Daugerrotypes...whatever if you really want. If you want old school you can totally do it, this dude needs to find Google. Sheesh!
