most would need to master the art of photography in a more traditional sense before being able to consistently create low resolution images that are striking. Absolutely. I think the medium is always less important than knowing what to do with it. Which brings me to one huge beef I have with photo schools that have gone all digital: there is something very important to be gained from the understanding of film imaging. I'm not saying it is critical, or a must. I am saying that those who understand how film reacts to light, how film is processed, how it translates to paper and so on, gain a deeper understanding of how photos work as a whole. This deeper understanding translates directly to digital and can be of great help in figuring out how one chooses to approach one's work. A loss of this important learning process (no matter how outdated it's rapidly becoming) will be felt, I think. Not having this learning process may limit the vision horizons of many up and coming photography pros and artists. Will find out; for now it's just a guess on my part...
