For the quantities of shots required for some assignments, I would
definitely agree with you about the burden of film. Digital is a
massive improvement in that regard. However, where I argue for the
value of film is when you don't need to shoot thousands of pictures on
an assignment. When working something that allows you to do it in, say
20 rolls or less. Maybe that barge has floated far down the river and
no assignment makes sense to be done on film. Well, that's fine. I
shoot film because I want to shoot film and try to find whatever
justification I can to make it so.

Where I do believe we've taken a step backwards, though, is regards to
the contact sheets. I still prefer working off of contact sheets. I
can eyeball a set of sheets and jump right to the preferred shots much
faster than I can in any computer-based tool.

BTW, your picture "Dew Drops" is simply stunning!
