How did we survive?

I can tell you that I would not be doing photography whatsoever if film were involved. For a while a decade ago, I got excited about photography and my own abilities to get attractive results. Then I realized there are millions of people who are even better and how (relatively) easy it is to be a very good photographer these days, and I lost interest again. The technology has devalued the art form through dilution. I now use it as a tool to record my experiences more than a way to express art. I am very happy that my new X-E1 records the excellent images I get without my having to fret over too many things.
