and again, sorry ...

its the content of a pictures what has to tell us a story, let us dream, show us beauty, show us ugly ... and so on.
how to compose and how to "read" why a picture works may take years to learn. most never learn it.
and if one does not print BIG any tool does.
film versus digital, no digital
black and white image beats the beautiful ample tonal range of a well made baryta paper print.
I agree, and am still trying to learn, but something I've never done with my digital cameras was open the back of the camera before I rewound the film

It's a long story.
