Pixel editor, Lee Johnson, has posted thoughts on his latest essay, Lancoast on his blog. Lee has been battling with his original idea of shooting the entire essay on film before salt printing the neagtives or the option of using digital.Lee said 'My internal editing on the fly machine began to work and a way forward found its way.
As much as I love film and wanted to do this in film it is impracticable. The cost and time in getting each image in 4”x5” format would out way the advantages and look. If I were to use 35mm although it would work I would still scan the negatives, carry out some Photoshop work (levels, scratches, dust etc.) and print the large scale negatives.
Digital has become the answer that I didn't really want it to be. Cut out the middle section of developing film, shooting with different film and/or cameras and I still end up with the outcome I want.'
