David Burnett, an award winning photojournalist for forty years, is comfortable working in both digital and traditional film formats. Recently in a New York Times interview he said: "...with film you had to wait hours or days to see what you had come up with. With digital you can see instantly what you've missed, so it can really help you fine-tune your composition. That's a big benefit." "The change (in photography) really started with autofocus, that opened up much of what used to be a more craft-based part of the business to almost anybody. I mean, if you can hold it steady and aim it and push that button, you can get an in-focus sharp picture a great degree of the time." "The thing that bugs me the most when I see people taking pictures of their family or the Grand Canyon or whatever, is that they spend so much time fumbling with the controls that whatever real moment there might have been is inevitably lost." "Ultimately, the technology is just a tool, It's a tool that lets your eye become the picture. It's easy to get caught up with all of the gadgets and all of the technology, but the most important thing is just to get comfortable with the tools you have."
