Hi there. Here are the major points: 1. In skilled hands, film yields better results than digital in every situation except for extreme low light levels. 2. Fuji makes the best (color) film stock. In fact, they are the last company standing who are serious about film. 3. Fuji's slide film is better than their print film. 4. The best Fuji slide film is the mighty Velvia 50. 5. Velvia 50 is not an good learning tool. It's ISO 50 and very unforgiving about under- or over-exposure. It has narrow "shoulders." 6. It is essential to find a good lab to develop your slide film. Most places don't do it, and even fewer do it right. 7. For black and white, Kodak Tri-X is the way to go. 8. You will either need to learn to develop and print B&W film yourself, for find a specialist lab to do it for you. 9. Developing and printing B&W film is an art, not a science. 10. Whatever film stock you go with, you will eventually want to invest in a good film scanner. Very few places to make decent film scans, and those that do charge plenty. 11. Kodak Gold is worst film stock in the history of humanity. Never use it, no matter how cheap it is.

Just re-upped my Flickr pro account, after letting it lapse for a week. It's not that I'm remotely enamored with Flickr at this point, but the fact that I have over 8,000 photos on the %$#@ thing.

Godwin's Law comes to price tags. Also my radio show is on the air for the last time in 2010 right nao.

This is one of my favorite rock n roll pictures ever.
