For a lack of anything more imaginative to dicuss on a Sunday morning here’s a rather worn-out dilema of a digital ditherer finally faced with the financial realities of continuing to photograph. I know, yawn. Get a life. However, buying a lightweight digital camera – probably a Fuji Xpro – isn’t my only financial or creative concern: what else will I need? A transportable lap top like a MacAir with at least one external hard drive which would cost as much, or more, than the actual camera and end up weighing as much as my Mamiya 7? Which brings me back to comparing that with buying over priced film and seeking out vanishing processing labs. I worked it out that with my Mamiya’s 10 frames per 120 roll, or even my Holga’s 12 – film and processing included – I was paying approx £2/$3 per frame – hit or miss, and the Holga was mostly miss even if it is more painterly than anything I see on high definition digital. Of course I could use a filter or play for hours on Photoshop but that’s not my idea of fun. Yeah, dilemas.
