Thanks for showing up here too!

I transitioned to shooting digital only around 10 years ago. It was very difficult to find a digital format that I liked, but once I did I was all-in.

It struck me that digital was going to dominate going forward and it was a distraction in my work if I stubbornly stuck to shooting film.

The fact is that I don't think much about cameras or other technological things much, as I'm here for the pictures, not the process.

I once heard a story that you used film for one shoot just because you didn’t want the subject pressuring you to delete shots or just pay too much attention to the techs station. Is there any truth to that story or was someone just pulling my leg?
