Imprints: Film vs. Digital – a discussion by members of PWP
On my first trip with a digital camera, I planned on using my film camera for most of the trip and the digital to play with. I brought 20 rolls of film with me, ended up buying 20 more rolls, and used the digital sparingly. That ended on that trip. I loved digital, I hated running out of film, and I became hooked on what the digital camera could do right before my eyes, and I am not alone. Some photographers have embraced this change; some have not. With the advent of digital photography, many film manufacturers have cut back or discontinued many kinds of film. But this has not dampened the spirit of many photographers.

Visual Dialogue
The sheer number of modern photography contests are astonishing. From multiple ‘calls for entry’ you can show your work in California, Texas, Alaska, Prague, Paris, and nearly anywhere else in the world the magic internet can reach. Nearly all don’t require the arduous and probably cholera ridden trip via steam ship to Hyde Park, London, but rather a few smart keystrokes and some deft mouse operation. Many of these contests, are found through internet listings, as well as newsletters and organizations which guide you to these resources. Evaluating the “Call for Entry” is essential, are they for real? Which one will really showcase our work? Are regional calls worth the expenditure? Exposure and feedback, are what we, as artists, require in order to evolve.
