Film is not dead. Digital does not suck. All that matters is the end result: do people see what you see? If they don't: why waste the energy on caring? GO TAKE MORE PHOTOS!!! That is the wonderful thing about photography: it's always yours.
One thing about my photography...I never, ever crop in post production. I always try and frame the picture correctly as I shoot. This is a holdover from growing up with film. Sometimes, I don't frame it correctly. I'm human.
Oh yes, I am also into kendo. You can see videos of me and my fellow kenshi at the Santa Barbara Kendo Dojo YouTube Channel. Please visit and comment!
