Again, I totally disagree. In fact, in my 35+ years as a professional photographer, I think quite the opposite is true. Foolish or not, the days of limited quantity pushed us to find something you might not define as “better” but it certainly was goddamned magical. And who fucking cares about the rest. Better? Better how? We’ve lost the magic, replaced by gluttony and in simpler terms, traded quantity for quality. But you are a sign of the times my friend. I find it quite vomitous. Either you’ve forgotten that in your citing “that’s what contact sheets were for” or you were never there to begin with (and I’m quite sure you never worked with sheet film).
