I've always felt the same way about film. I mean, hell, given enough time in
the darkroom, a large format printer, and access to the right locations, I
could do
Ansel Adams quality work. For that matter, given enough time to practice, I
could play the saxophone like Charlie Parker, paint like Botticelli, or write
like
Faulkner, But I haven't done those things.
The crux of the matter is the image, not whether you used photoshop or D-76 to
get there. In the end, digital versus film is of no more significance than
Nikon
versus Olympus. We all have preferences, and some of us may use a variety of
tools and techniques, but in the end, its the image you produce, not the tools
you use.
