Jon Katz(l) and the legendary McCoy Tyner (r) (Thanks to my brother Jeff Katz for digitally enhancing this photo from the underexposed cell camera original.)
One thing I love about digital photography is that it reduces the need for using gelatin (ordinarily from slaughtered animals), which is common in the printing of photographs from film.
Another thing I love about digital photography is the possibility of salvaging underexposed photos. Above, for instance, is my brother Jeff Katz's success in saving an underexposed cell camera picture of me and McCoy Tuner from February 24 (the extraordinary meeting is blogged here) through extrapolating digital information and making an artistic rendering.
Of course, this whole topic brings me back to the argument that child pornography possession cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt without expert testimony for the prosecution that virtual images are not actually being presented. For an idea of how far virtual digital imagery has come, see this virtual image. Jon Katz
