Before my step into photography, i was quite into Sumi-e painting.
To me, the concept is somewhat the same. You can buy the best programs and tablets and make many works of art on the PC not just limited to brushwork, or you can buy some paper, brush, ink, do alot of study on painting in only that certain genre and spending countless hours mastering the steep learning curve of it.
One swift stroke of the brush on a traditional medium.
The touching up/editing on Sumi-e brushwork is difficult to near impossible,
and the same goes for film.
One swift shutter click to burn the light into the emulsion.
Editing is possible, but room for change is often narrow.
In due time, digital will be limitless.
Not just for this sole reason i shoot film of course. I do an equal amount of shooting for both digital and film, both for different moods, different uses.
