I cant help agreeing with pretty much everything you said. Maybe im alone here, but i print alot of my digital photos out too (in addition to film). Probably about 10% (which i think is alot considering how many more photos i take with digital). If i printed everything out i'd probably be broke, plus i think its an insane waste of paper. Theres just something really good about holding a physical photo in your hands and being able to display/hand it over to other people. I like having something tangable to show for the time and effort gone into taking a photo. I also just simply like the way printed photos look. I guess it all comes down to what your personal tastes are. At the end of the day, nobody is wrong, its a free world and people can take photos of and display/store them however they want. You cant deny the convenience and cost effectiveness of purely digital photography. Its just a shame that a generation of people are being brought up only seeing photos on a computer screen! I also find it hard to attach any value to 1000's of macro photos taken of pens and other things lying around some cashed up I.T nerds desk that seems to fill up so many online photography forums these days. Whatever does it for you i guess!?? Tim Rudder sent me this link and i thought it was a great read!

A lot of people treat it as an ongoing diary, dumping every single photo they take into it. Without your hands you just can't pleasantly browse through that many photos.
