More power to you in whatever medium makes you happy. 
And you're not afraid of ever waxing nostalgic for physical 
media, light passing through film transparencies and glass on 
its way to retina, brain and heart? I don't think a digital 
museum will ever capture the material qualities of paint, 
canvas, marble or bronze. Similarly, even if digital imaging can 
record and reproduce the appearance of a scene with more 
latitude and resolution than film, one thing it cannot do is 
provide the physical experience that film offers.
