I think to me a significant part is that one process boils down to a game of pushing numbers around (a fun and engaging game, certainly), and the other process requires physically engaging with the logistical difficulties of the world in a way that produces a more directly relatable story. That story may not be part of the image directly, but is sort of implied, and subjectively makes the photographs more immersive.

Consider you saw one of these images in a gallery, with a label containing only a title - you might well assume the image was digitally altered. Without the context of how the image was created, is the image devalued in your mind? My wife is an artist, and I struggle with these kind of questions; a seemingly simple image, painting, sculpture or object, might have been the result of weeks or months of creative process - but surely only the artist understands how it came to be?
