First off
In the alt-photo process world digital is an interesting paradox.
Many people use digitial photography to produce the enlarged negatives and
alter the contrast and other characteristics of negatives so that they can
produce digital negatives in order to make really good prints using
processed refined over 100 years ago.
<fantasy> After I master multiple coat color gum-bichromte, I'm going to
shoot 7.5 inch wide aerial chrome film in a pinhole camera, do digital
color seperations and print full color gum prints from digitally made
negatives :) </fantasty>
Second
What counts is the image - the tools/technique that make it are
irrelevant. I use pinhole cameras because I love the images they produce
and I know of no other way of producing them.
Its nice that its also cheap and easy, but if it wasn't for the image I
wouldn't bother.
