>there’s no subjective choices to be made during printing and/or scanning Same could be said about a simple smartphone photo, but they hardly hold the same respect. I personally get the same feeling, but as hard as I try to define where the "honest analog" ends and the "manipulated uninteresting lies" begins, the more blurry it becomes. At the end of the day, there is no honest representation at all, as many people manipulated the analogue photos as well.
