Man behind the camera

I've started my first attempts in photography almost 20 years ago: it was Zenith-B, Lomo 8M and Kiev 88 film cameras. There was no digital cameras those days, of course :) Even the color photos was the privilege of professional studios.
Many time passed since then, a progress in digital photography and computers now gives almost everybody a potential ability to take and post-process images with quality overwhelming the professionals of near past, say 15-20 years ago. Nice, but instead of this many professionals still using film cameras. Why? They say what film gives you more life. Well maybe, but I think digital gives you more freedom - to try, to make mistakes, to learn.
I'm not professional, but I love photography. And I believe - digital or film - a good camera is only a camera and where is always a man behind it.
