gay is the new black...

don't ask.
anyway, i've been super busy with school and stuff lately, so no time to update really...not that anyone reads this, but that's ok.
not much to say really.
oh, i know...i'll spout off my latest epiphany.
so i've finally come to a conclusion on digital photography. for so long i've struggled with truly being able to define why it is i dislike that medium so much, and now i have an answer.
digital photography is fake.
there's nothing real about it...nothing tangible.
with film you have the film and the processing of the film, and then the printing etc... any manipulations you want to do to film photography, you have to physically do!
however, with digital, it's all data. there is nothing to feel or hold until you finally hit print on a computer, and out comes this image that's altered because obviously the original data wasn't good enough, or because someone wanted to make it a certain way, so that even the end product is fake. i despise that. photography isn't sitting at a computer!
unfortunately my photography course this semester is making me at least print my photographs digitally...meaning, i can still shoot them in film, so at least i have that going for me, but i have to scan in the negatives and then use photoshop to print them. ridiculous.
none of this is to say that i will never go in to the digital world, because let's face it, i'm going to have to at some point. however, i will never fully turn to the dark side. i need real. i need tangible.

anyway. that's my rant. my wine glass is empty however, and this makes me sad. thus i am off to relax with the kitties, and play some wii. later!
