Digital Photography Vs. Film Photography: The Great Debate

Ever since the introduction of the digital camera, a war has raged within the photography community. There are those that would claim 35mm film is the one true ň€śprofessionalň€ť media, and digital its casual, amateur counterpart. Conversely, as costs decrease and quality increases, there is an ever-expanding group of working photographers that shoot and produce only in digital. So what is a consumer to think?

Daguerre amazed the world by fixing the light from a pinhole camera onto a piece of glass, thereby preserving a moment in time for an eternity.
