Photographers immersed in a digital world
"In the last two years, the lives of the photo staff at The Dallas Morning News have changed dramatically as we made the switch to digital photography. We are now totally digital," writes photographer Ken Geiger. "Our prize-winning staff of 32 photographers shoots more than a million photographs a year. Think about the computer horsepower and disk space it takes to edit and store those photos."Not too long ago in my career, I had to take along black plastic sheeting and duct tape on out-of-town assignments so I could turn a hotel bathroom into a darkroom for film processing. Back then I would have advised you that the best way to wash the chemicals off film was to place it, while still on the spool, in the toilet and flush 10 times (three times minimum if you were on a tight deadline)."
