Digital photos redux!
We've used conventional photography and we've used digital photography. This month we're going around yet another bend in the digital
stream. The photographs of the speakers at the Electronic Update were taken with a conventional 35mm camera, using Seattle Film Works's
close-grained motion picture filmstock. The film was sent to SFW, processed, and uploaded to their Internet site. We downloaded the photos,
converted them from SFW's proprietary format to Photoshop, and placed them in the newsletter.
Later, via the regular mail, we received prints and a disk with the images, which was fortunate, because the uploaded version of the photo
on page 1 had inadvertently failed to include Rick Smolan's right ear! That photograph was sent to Lightworks, a division of Jonathan Peck
Typographers, for traditional separation.
Are these digital photos? Are they conventional photos? Doesn't everything eventually become digital? Stay tuned.
