Sans titre par Blaise De la Croix

skipping rope made of lights.

fukin great q. if we’re talking film vs digital i would say they may be apples/oranges & neither is > the other, nevertheless choosing format is so important, as each tends to convey certain aspects of ‘photographic vision’ in mutually exclusive ways.. looking beyond the categorical are those rare image experiences: u know it bc it causes your spine to tingle with excitement when you see it, in many cases u will find such photograph ‘out of place,’ its greatness being overlooked bc of the context. i will say that have had fewer of these moments looking at digital photography vs film, but this is not the rule, only a tendency. also, there are so many variables and individual stylistic differences among photographers that it makes it hard to really settle on a single decade/time period - lantern slides of “pioneer” photographers (e.g., Lady Frances Benjamin Johnston) have the kind of depth and immediacy that has remained essentially accessible to viewers even in the 21st c. (example - ["El Fureidis," James Waldron Gillespie house, Parra Grande Lane, Montecito, California. Reservoir] - taken by the aforementioned photographer).generally speaking, i guess id say my fav. era for photography has to be 1985-1995
