To me is has a feel that I find missing in digital. Although I do find digital useful at times. <br /><br />I have some old photo magazines and they don't talk much about gear. Most of the focus is on skills that could be used with a lot of different cameras. I'm not sure when the magazines switched over to more of a focus on gear. Maybe I am being too cynical, however I suspect that some of the focus on gear is because they want to keep people hyped up on needing their advertisers latest products.Ted Kappeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163223776832622572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187285701706379006.post-58977114654326675882012-05-23T14:32:09.519-07:002012-05-23T14:32:09.519-07:00It seems like a lot of the people who are posting ...It seems like a lot of the people who are posting about Kodak don't understand that. It is hard to change the direction of even a small business. Just imagine changing a company as large as Kodak with its years of doing things one way.Ted Kappeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163223776832622572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187285701706379006.post-52972319170999059992012-05-23T09:16:40.318-07:002012-05-23T09:16:40.318-07:00Great post.

I don't mind digital for its speed, but to me it just lacks "body". I am not caught up in the Digital Craze, even though I love our D90 and HDR and all of that. Have you noticed the trend. Every Magazine out there is about "gear" because we are such a technical society. There are very few magazines or focus (pardon the pun) on just the art of Photography. I'm staying with Film, and I hope Kodak does too. I think there is still a market for Kodak. But I also agree with the other writer above, kodak will need leadership to turn that lumbering boat around to face new horizons.https://gregoryheath.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/07570805094627172912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187285701706379006.post-80104569757307678742012-05-23T08:04:07.475-07:002012-05-23T08:04:07.475-07:00Great essay.

Mind-bendingly hard. Because once all your energies are headed in one direction, inertia if nothing else makes it hard to adjust.Jim Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941665968757241278noreply@blogger.com
