I know a guy that was a professional photographer that had worked for a major newpaper in NJ. He did this for a living. Recently I was curious about a photograph that he had taken, which had been an office decoration at my old job. The original was actually located, but in the interim, the photographer was brought into the email conversation, and he said he certainly still has the negative, but... he has no darkroom anymore. Sacrificed to the digital age... which I got to see his transition to digital still photography equipment in the 1990s... but a photographer, without a darkroom? I just had no clue how to respond to that. I mean, isn't that like an mechanic without a wrench, an electrician without a pair of wire cutters, or a house framer without a hammer?

I guess I just have to look at it like an engineer without a sliderule, or a housewife without a sewing machine.

the first usable digital dslr...required it being tethered to a Macintosh Computer....

My not that terribly expensive Canon DSLR camera produces images with more available detail that previously available using slide film.

This is all still in its relative infancy .
