Response to look what the digital world is saying

Here is a quote from an article in The Economist Global Agenda: "As digital cameras start to offer even better performance, especially with developments like the Foveon chip, they will start to replace film cameras at a faster rate. Accessories and services that make them easier to use and to print pictures from, will also boost their popularity." Fred De Van has suggested that the next big battle will be over who controls the "accessories and services" market, and warns that Microsoft will certainly try to dominate it. That seems reason enough to stick with the old analogue aesthetic. My partner and I are about to build a new house, and I plan to double the size of my current darkroom and build an 8x10 enlarger while I'm at it. I'm obviously tied to the digital world, or I wouldn't have such a large website but, as everyone knows, the website is all about analogue photography. We may be the last generation to have full access to the materials necessary to do traditional photography, so I plan to make the most of them while I still can.
