I heard it again yesterday for the billionth time: “Digital Photography”. Isn’t it time we drop the word ‘digital’?
Seems we’ve managed to drop the “electric” from “electric guitar” in common parlance.
We found it easy to drop the word “acrylic” from “acrylic painting” when that came on the scene with oils.
We quickly ditched the “digital” from “digital music” when it took the lead over records and tapes and CDs.
I suppose by-and-large our industry has dropped the word, but given that digital and analog photography are fundamentally the same thing, isn’t it time we implore the rest of the world to assimilate the term “digital photography” back into “photography” as a whole?
At the moment i switched to film and i love it. I often found myself tweaking my digital shots to film look.
So why should i shoot digital?
It is the same thing for sure, but for my heart there is a difference..
And for me it is not in the same pot. I (see) feel a difference.
I agree!
Photography is an art. Lets not pigeonhole it into film photography and digital photograph. It’s just Photography! Grrrrrr!!!
Umm. OK.
I agree Chase,
We need to see if Canon can drop a zero off the price of some of their lenses also, Maybe you can get that started for the rest of us?

Yeah seriously, when it comes down to it, its all photography. Yes, physically one is a little different from the other, but in the end they are both ways of taking photos and you still get a photo no matter what!
