Pro photgrapher's still use film?

I make my living taking photographs but client's logistics dictate that it's all digital, I haven't shot a commercial job on film in 5 years.
But for my own pleasure I'll sometimes shoot a film version and the client invariably loves it.

Of course 100% of my personal work is shot on film :)

I'm not actually sure what part of what I wrote is disagreeable to you. I also don't actually know what makes you "an artist". Is there some degree, diploma or certificate that you've earned that makes you better than us "ordinary" photographers? Or are you just self-ordained?

I would put it to you that this is more a result of your lack of skill that the medium's capability. Perhaps your ambition outweighs your ability?

Perhaps you should open yours, you condescending jerk. Supporting my assertion that your ambition outweighs your ability, what do you think generally happens to a piece of Velvia after it's exposed? It goes in to a digital workflow. Given your "artistic" brilliance, what digital capture device can produce a BETTER digital file than a piece of Velvia 6x17 that has been drum scanned at high (2400+ dpi) resolution?

Yes. What's your point?

Again, your ambition obviously outweighs your ability.

why so much hate? why these insults? do you know anything about me and my work? this is not the way I would like to discuss. just forget it. I won't answer to this any more. good bye.

LJH, chill, dude. He disagreed very politely, without casting any aspersions on you, and you attacked him. He wasn't the slightest bit condescending, but I can tell you're not the sort of person I'd want to be on the right OR wrong side of, by your response.

Yet you still feel the need to chime in. Go figure, DUDE.

As expected, good to see that you've got the courage of your convictions. I guess being an "Artist" allows you to make claims that you don't/can't/won't substantiate.

:munch:

Since we've managed to devolve this into a pointless A vs D thread, thwack.
