Secrets
BY MICHAEL CORSENTINO
When the digital photography revolution started, I resisted for a very long time, confident that I’d never leave film for zeros and ones. After 20 years of gelatin silver wet darkroom work perfecting black-and-white printing, I was sure digital could never possibly measure up. It’s a funny thing be- cause now my analog days are a distant memory, and I can’t imagine ever living without digital. I wistfully romanticize my darkroom days; the glow of my amber safe light, the smell of the chemicals, the thrill of watching prints magically appear in a tray of developer, but the truth is I’d never go back. Digital just has too many advan- tages, from resolving power, to ISO and processing flexibility, to immediacy and workflow.
