Everyone has a photographic memory, but most don't have film

I held out until 2008 to go digital and I really miss my beautiful 35 mm and the joy of developing the film and prints by hand. I got my first camera at the age of 8 and I studied photography in high school and college so I too can be a little condescending myself:woohoo: I know that it does take real talent and time invested to take really nice shots. I cannot wait for the digital SLR that will give me back the challenge and feeling of pride that comes with a terrific picture. I still shoot about 100 frames and only keep about 10 to 20 of them.

A very lond time.
Digital allows anybody with a decent checkbook to dabble into higher end gear. The availability of editing programs allows more access for experimenting. Not everybody could build a dark room, or anything of the such, anybody can spend a few hundred bucks and get lightroom.
A lot of the methods used in photoshop, were born in the dark room, dodge burning, sharpening, etc. By allowing virtual layering, and the ability to layer blend with ease, it allows more creativity.
You didn't see much of this.

He had some interesting points on how technology has made photographers lazy and dependent these days. My arguement was not the case, considering that technology grants more ways to play around with photos. Which in turn requires a special understanding for photographic properties. Does that make sense?
