at least 10 years ago when everyone had crappy low-megapixel digital cameras, no one had the pretense of being 'a photographer'.

I know tons of people who saw digital cameras as the "entry" into photography since you could get such higher definition shots.
I also saw tons of people who hated digital cameras because it took away the "feeling" and "emotion" behind photos on film.
Who was right? Neither. It's too different styles of photography.

I did photography as a unit for a year quite some time ago. Developing your own film in the darkroom was a cool process as well as the photography techniques we learned and applied. Though I understand how to compose a photo I don't really have the photographer's eye to really capture a great shot, as did others in my class.

Naw just make sure you use an old film camera with add some filters. Those pictures automatically have "emotion" and "thought" in them.

see i can do it too

A good photograph is a good photograph, doesn't what equipment you use.

not sure if you're confusing film for instagram, but film is an actual medium. it's something you actually can alter and modify, something you manipulate, as a craft. like the old film cameras - where you actually have to properly set-up and utilize the mechanics of the camera itself. that to me creates an 'accomplished' photo. unlike software that will do everything for you (be it instagram-level or adobe-wonderworks).

art.

not only can you manipulate the mechanics of the camera, but the development of the film itself. you can do some pretty neat tricks with film in a dark room. i spent about a year developing holographic film (which is basically just really, really high quality photo film) and that step was almost as important as the recording itself

There's some quite impressive equipment in the world of mechanical porn, mostly made by talented lesbians from what I hear.

Still, its a niche I could get into, and I haven't seen any with stepper motor drives or PLC setups.

she's an only child, her dad is a millionaire, her mom makes $175,000 a year. she is taking the next year to move between denmark (her home country) and work on her language/see family, and working for one of britain's most prestigious art galleries. then her parents will pay for her to take either a master's in fine art from the courtauld institute, university of london (world's most prestigious art school), or in a more academic literary study at oxford/cambridge. so yes, i'm sure she is going to enjoy her future - whether i'm with her or not.

the $40,000 a year job was the starting salary i stipulated for beginner post-docs. that's my career path. i also stated that very quickly goes to $100,000+ a year by the time you hit your mid-30's. it's a job with 8 years of training. it pays very well, considering the nature of the job is reading, writing, and teaching books/philosophy that you love. you also make a really good revenue outside of your university salary, adding a lot each year through book-sales, academic lectures, private consultation, etc. it pays well. i'm not worried either. my family also have their millions. we are both very well catered for.

thank you for your concern
