I would never want to go back to film for my day to day work assignments at the paper. Today its all digital and I must say that I love shooting digital for my newspaper work, in November of 2001 my newspaper, The Kelowna Daily Couruier bought the newest of new, Nikon D1H digital cameras, I can still clearly remember walking along Bernard avenue in downtown Kelowna the day our 'kits' arrived and shot anything and everything that moved, I would look at each picture on the camera's tiny little rear screen and say wow! I have been working at newspapers as a photographer since I was 18 years of age, I started out shooting black and white film in my Nikon F2 camera. I have been shooting film since I was 15 years of age, I'm closing in on 40 years of film usage and I still feel that film has value in today's digital world.

Thank you for your nice words about my work. Those are crazy assumptions made by people that have no clue what photography is about.īTW trying to study 150+ years of 'film-wisdom' (vs about 8 of 'digi-wisdom') can be a daunting task indeed. Or even letting the viewer believe that the artist is better than him, because he/she uses film. It's not because I use film that my work becomes better. I've been called an elitist before, for using film.īut I believe that the medium an artist desires to use should never influence the viewer's opinion about the artist's art. Now what medium I desire to use is completely secondary.

That is something – I believe – I can do with my B&W work. That – for me – is one of the defining factors of what makes exceptional art, exceptional and good art, well just that, good. I like art that shows me the artist's personality. Photography should never be a frustrating thing Brian.
