    Photography is a form of record-keeping for the generations that arrive after we leave; much like the cave paintings by our early ancestors, or the ancient Egyptians and their hieroglyphics. There is something innately important about preserving our past and giving it immortality. As a Christian, I always loved the expression "His Story [history]", but it is as much "Her Story" as well.

    • @oJ862
      @oJ862 4 роки тому +2

      @leicanoct sorry for being pendantic but most professional photographers would have shot film up until the mid 2000s, or at least a hybrid between film and digital. There were no digital cameras that produced acceptable images in the 90s. The only 'digital' cameras until the late 90s were cameras that operated in a similar manner to a vcr and they were used only by news papers.

    • @oJ862
      @oJ862 4 роки тому +1

      @leicanoct 2.7mp is still doesn't compare to 35mm film. It's acceptable for press coverage and breaking news, but I not for documentation. When did you stop using the your canon and what was your field of work, if you don't mind me asking (just curious).

    • @oJ862
      @oJ862 4 роки тому

      @leicanoct Was convenience the driving factor or was digital just the zeitgeist at the time? The cost of film would surely have been cheaper, considering how expensive memory and even the digital bodies were at the time.
