Thus the contest wanted originals non photoshoped she at first wanted me to make analog ( film slides ) from her 4圆 prints from c41 negatives or analog ( film slides ) from her digital camera. She wanted it turns out "analog"slides as the contest says see didnt know that there was a thing called slide film or that old could shoot slides with a 35mm camera. We got this convolved question last week from a lady that wanted analog printed out and she has a 35mm camera. :) Thus the dumbing down agenda of newbies has made their Koolaid analog term fit any old photo or film or movie format/material/VHS/Beta/ and one as a printer has to ask a zillion questions now to find out what the chap on the other end of the phone is really talking about. Since its on a disc its analog:) to some folks now. Folks will say they are "bringing in some analog on a disc" this might be then scanned some prints or negatives at home OR its really some digital camera images too. Its like now every old format is now declared "analog" if it not from a digital camera whether its film magnetic tape movie films prints etc. Folks call old 35mm slides sometimes "analog slides" analog or c41 negatives or dumb prints just "analog" or call old VHS tapes analog or even polaroids or 8mm cine movies or even 8mm magnetic tapes too. Folks call and want to know if you "can print analog" and thus one has to ask all these questions to figure out what ther heck they are talking about. Calling all film analog is a deep religion for many now its even spread to printing. ie maybe the new sandbox could be called Film users group or something with FILM in it rather than just the new iffy term ANALOG ie Analog Photography Users GroupIts like they were so ticked off with any mention of digital that their new sandbox had to have an anti -digital agenda ie thus the word analog. When many film users were leaving I mentioned that their new sandbox should have the 100 year old term FILM in it instead of JUST analog since its an old term easy to find one thats older than any photographer alive one well understood across all languages. Thus for many Analog is the newbies Koolaid term to worship and if you have used "FILM" for 1/2 century as I have you are an evil chap for even mentioning the term "analog" is abit goofy. When I mentioned at the start that they should use the older more mainstream less BS term of FILM I got a zillion emails saying that Analog is the proper new term. When many film chaps left when digital became mainstream their new site was called APUG Analog Photography Users Group. Calling film "analog" fits the typical spineless marketing chaps agenda of creating BS terms to dazzle the dumb publics craving of new toys. Thus if a newbie ie agendite calls all film analog this old Kodak scheme would be "digital recording on analog" instead of digital recording on film. One was recording ones and zeros ie black and white digital info on film ie digital recording on film as a mass storage method before the CD's laser disc came out. Kodak had digital recording on film as a mass computer memory storage project in the late 1970's in Sand Diego. Part of the newbies agenda is recoining old ancient terms. "Film" is a many decades old term a Kodak Brownie 120 roll "film" a 100 plus years ago called it film when it was on wooden spools. This was before many newbies were born thus ancient still electronic capture in the older analog non digital mode is not known. Long ago there was electronic capture of still images on tape as analog signals. Its just a cute prepie agenda thing marking them as newbies. Those who just use the term Analog for "film" are just newbies.
