"There’s an old aphorism: “A change is not necessarily an improvement.” The digital world has changed things; however, whether it’s an improvement has yet to be seen. Digital photography is indeed a change, but not necessarily an improvement. I happen to like film grain, when it’s controlled. I like the atmosphere it creates, particularly in black and white film. Digital pictures still seem a little sterile to me. I have to admit that the sharpness of a digital picture is rather attractive; however, there also seems to be a lack of atmosphere, a lack of soul." -Rodney Smith
