I agree.

I respect those who shoot film. They have to make decisions about their pictures before they even leave the house. Which film they want to bring, colour, black & white, which brand, which ISO etc... Digital photography feels like cheating to me. I can change my ISO with just the rotation of two knobs, I can switch to b&w by going into the menu. I can adjust the saturation/contrast/brightness/hue of my pictures and view the results in near realtime. I'm happy that digital photography has happened though, it's made it much easier for me to get into photography, but I think it's taken away a lot of the skill required. Those who have the skill are perhaps appreciated less now than they used to be. Because anyone can buy a DSLR and start taking half decent pictures, and then photoshop them into beautiful masterpieces. I dunno, I just feel that those who use film are always going to be superior to me no matter how good I am with a digital camera.
