This was a powerful discussion about the present day value in using what most would consider a “retro” technology, and not just for the sake of nostalgia. The central takeaway for me was that film photography will necessitate a more thoughtful and deliberate approach to composition, lighting, exposure, and so on.
A huge and growing number of people are today preferring analog vinyl recordings of music, rather than listening to high quality, lossless, digital recordings. The engineering facts are that this produces a less accurate rendition of what happened in the space at the time of recording than modern digital techniques permit. That doesn’t mean people cannot prefer the vinyl listening experience, but it cannot be argued that it is, in any technical acoustic way, better than, or even as good as digital.
Raf has explained why that’s not the same for photography.
That’s the point, Mark, and it is because there’s one fundamental diference between listen to a vinyl record and take photos: in one you are a content consumer, in the other you are a content producer.
