For me, there is something special about a large negative, like the ones produced by the Fuji 6x9, not to mention a large format camera. I don’t know if it matters all that much in terms of art, and I suspect it doesn’t, but the physical presence of the negative in the hand encourages inspection, invites a closer look. The tactile nature of analog media is just different from digital. As lens based artists, we have more options today than at any time in history. Do these many options free us or paralyze us?
