I bought my digital camera a few years ago, after hanging on to my little Instamatic for years. The thought of lugging my film to the drug store and waiting for my prints to be developed now seems so…1950! Digital photography really does make easy photo sharing so much faster and easier!
I started thinking about why I so resistant to change for so long. And then I read an article that really brought it home for me. I was surprised to learn that over 75% of American households now have access to the Internet. That’s about 200 million people. Pretty impressive, right? Well, actually, not really. Because when you think about it, there’s a more telling stat that rarely gets mentioned.
More than 70 million of us do not have access to the Internet yet.
Now why is that? The number one reason, of course, is price. I can understand that. Computers are an expense, especially when you factor in the monthly cost for high-speed internet access. But there’s another underlying cause that’s really fascinating.

There is nothing like a photograph. It captures a moment. A smile. A place. A piece of time, perfectly captured and there to enjoy every time you walk past it.

It0s true that old-fashioned film photography is an art form. In fact, in this day and age, that0s about all it is, which is somewhat ironic. After all, film photography started off in 1837 as something very few could enjoy or do. As it is turning out, people who enjoy film photography are becoming an exclusive club.
The artistic expression available through film is astounding. If you0ve never taken a film photography class, you should. It will ultimately make you a better photographer as you will have a full understanding of the art form in general.
However, unless you plan on investing in a darkroom (water, light, equipment), or if you plan on spending quite a bit of money at photo processing labs, you might concentrate most of your efforts on digital photography. In the long term, it0s generally less expensive than film, since you print only the photos you want. Also, it provides quite a bit of artistic expression of its own.
