JS: You still prefer (and will probably always prefer) film to digital photography. Why is this?

HPC: To my eye, there’s something integral to photography that’s not translating from film to digital. This isn’t to say that I think that digital is crap, but there’s definitely something missing.

I also think that a photographer’s relationship with shooting is quite different when it’s film and when it’s digital. If I buy fresh Polaroid film for my pinhole camera, it’s roughly $3.75 a shot. Shooting with an SX-70 is roughly $1 a shot. The choices that I make are an important and necessary part of my process.

With digital, you pretty much shoot ‘til your card’s full. I guess, I miss the ongoing interior editorial conversation that happens in my head.

taken from a recent interview with heather champ on photography and her web presence.

heather is one of those people i really admire: she started the mirror project (back in the day when i was trying to tame the zenit), takes magical pictures with different types of cameras (like the polaroids above) and is also the community manager at flickr.

check out her new ongoing project, polaroid 366: a polaroid a day for a (leap) year.
