That makes a lot of sense. I am looking at it from the point of view of the finished product, the photograph, rather than the process of creating it. I personally tend to do things “the hard way” at times because I feel like I, for the lack of a better term, put my soul into the thing that way. But as a practical matter, people viewing a photograph generally don’t know how it was produced and as such is this particular effect unique and/or hard to reproduce?
- platz 6y agoYou wouldn't be able to recreate the exact effect digitally. You could try to approximate a crappier version of it but there would be noticeable differences, and sometimes nuance in art matters.
- imwillofficial 6y agoEven if it was an exact replica, there is, as the french say, a je ne sais quoi about an object crafted lovingly in a manual fashion. Definition of je ne sais quoi : something (such as an appealing quality) that cannot be adequately described or expressed. This sounds like fluff driven by emotion and not reason, but I encourage readers to embrace the lack of reason for some elements of human experience. We are anything but perfectly rational beings, this is one powerful aspect where efficiency and logic are sacrificed on the alter of subjective experience.
- imwillofficial 6y agoMaybe they don't know, but there is an unspoken energy to things that are real, that have a history all their own. Sometimes, for some people, the object itself is part of the message, the way it was crafted part of its value. Explain sentimentality and you explain this hahahah.
