I find all this really interestingthe girlfriend has a photography degree, and I have limited crime-scene photography training. We've debated film v digital a lot.
She loves digi but maintains there is a time and place for film. I also think she gets a kick out of being able to develop her stuff by herself.

there is nothing as cool as printing your own film imagesthe bit where it magically appears on the paper is the best

Some things should always remain analogue......like Synthesisers. I think digital wins over film though purely for the instant gratification. I have used one roll of 35mm film in my whole life, and only about 7 of the photos turned out.

Hmm..Crime scene photo training?
Don't you still have to use film only for that? Just wondered coz that's what I got told waaaaaaaay back in the mists of time when I tried to become a photographer for the police.
I likes film, but rarely use it these days..

Digital is just starting to become more widley usedwith the advent digital watermark systems and such.
Also, you have to keep all the original pictures you take on the memory card. Even if they're crap or all blurry, you keep them. Keeps the chain of evidence intact.
And if you DO have to change them in anyway, you make and edit a copy. The system will then log every pixel that's changed and how it has changed.

Ah,Sounds much better..
Didn't get any training out of it, got told after the first interviewy thing that I was the wrong sort for the job (damn my socialist parents and their protesting ways)
Still, would've been an interesting (and probably depressing) job.. Trying to find the materiality and textures of a knifing, maybe aim to do a certain crime scene in the theme of a biblical ethic and all that..
