I spent Friday night at a gallery. Everything in it is black and white, handprinted. I was very tempted to tell that guy who was selling his prints at thousands of dollars a pop that he was obsolete and his work was unnecessary. I'm sure he would have thanked me for pointing out the error of his ways, and run right out and bought himself a new digital camera so that he could change with the times and not get left behind.

I'm not saying there aren't new and better ways to do things. I'm saying that it is a choice people make for themselves how to do them. And some people prefer shooting black and white film, some people shoot slides, some people shoot digital. It's a choice you make for yourself, so a blanket statement about something being obsolete and unnecessary is an opinion, because those people who choose those things would disagree.
