I'm closing out this season about photography with my take on what has to be one of the most classic debates: Analog vs. Digital.
Here's my contribution: It's just the wrong discussion to be had. To be quite honest, I don‘t think we're doing well with the transition from analog to digital at all. Mostly because the wrong parameters get compared, and as always, nostalgia gets in the way. While the analog process is clearly the past, everyone shooting digital just seems to lust after "the analog look". Let‘s look at what we can learn from the analog process.
