I see it everyday in my field. While it's hard for most of us here to understand, the 'computer' surprisingly has left many people behind. And it's not a clear age line.

These are friends, family and especially people I mingle with through the building world. There are still many hand lettering bills, sending them in the postage system only, drafting plans with pencil on paper. I photograph some hand lettered bills from my subcontractors, and send them e-mail to my clients.

And so it goes with film. You can still take real film classes here in Rockport at the Photographic Workshops College. There are classes to create negatives from digital images-to take them into film images, alternative processes that involve film as a creative medium that are very popular. New art forms have evolved that include everything, past and present. This is state of the art in photography today, and it's evolving. Digital is the media tool today, without it, you get left behind. Many classes are for pro's advancing their skills in the multi media age of today.

The only myth is that, the old methods in any era, took more skill. The great photos, films, taken with film or digital, the great buildings designed on paper on pixels, they're all the product of the skill, art, technical skills, of the person behind them.
