As professional I’m asked a lot of times my feelings about analogue and digital photography, what are my favourite digital camera’s.
Between film and digital files is the same as you ask the difference about a Steinway & Son piano and a synthesizer, or between vinyl and CD. Two different media that you really can’t compare! The main fact is of course the output or what yo’re doing with it! I can cry when I hear the interpretation of Artur Rubinstein in the second movement of the Concerto number two of Chopin and get a lot of emotions with the music of Klaus Schulze.
In digital you have the total control of the photos on your fingertips. But with a pinhole camera you can make also nice artworks.
And the cameras… Of course, look good at the date of this topic, tomorrow you will get other stuff that’s better!
My first digital camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-F828, with a superb Zeiss lens and superb performance. I even make a picture that I printed on a 250x100 cm format with it! The only negative point is that the time to write the files to the memory cards are too long, and you can miss other good pictures!
Next, the Fuji FinPix S3 Pro, perfect camera and not as expensive as the Nikon D2X with a sensor chip that reveals a very broad dynamic range, better than with conventional chrome films.
Last, the Canon PowerShot S70 for the small format to have always in my pocket but who delivers 7.0 megapixels fine images.

I don’t have words for this New Year, still very shocked by all the 150.000 dead people of the terrible tsunami of last year…
But I want to communicate to all of you who comes on this site, for the first time or on regularly periods, all my best wishes for a peaceful, artistic year with a lot of fine surprises.
And of course, also much, much love for every day of this year. Don’t wait to receive it but give it all around you, without restrictions, over and over again…
Every smile you give will warm up somebody’s heart and it’s very more important than you can think!
Feel fine in your body, feel fine in your soul and be always open to understand the misery and pain of other people, that’s also a big step to a more tolerant world.
Of course you know that! And I certainly don’t want to be a predicator of what kind! So, simply:
Have a very nice year 2005!
