i know i should be writting my essay
but i am immobilized in this ethical delima over art production
i cannot produce
my work just looks like waste
and my beautiful black and white,
my tradition that is being forgotton to computer cameras
alas!
it seems like all the effects i should be exploring in traditional photography can be created in the computer
and if i did it any other way, i would be making unnessesary waste
like attaining the high contrast and lucid quality of lith-prints
or the developmental process of rollout photography
justin kerr spent hours in his studio to come up with a way of producing a 360 archival image from a single negative of contoured objects
and digital just imitates it with photostich
the whole process is lost!
i feel so horrible just spitting out content onto RC prints all the time
that process shows no reflection of methodical thought
call it dramatic but i slept the entire day yesterday because i felt so bad about it
i can't work like this
i need serious help
either i need to give up photography completely or find a way to restore its process in a non-toxic way
