I have some 25,000 images sitting on an external hard drive whirring away next to my computer. There's a soft blue light flowing forth from the front panel of the drive that lets me know that everything is all right, at least mechanically because aesthetically it's a nightmarish morass.
Not having to pay for film, or pay for development is both a blessing and a curse. It's certainly informed the way I approach photography, which bears more relationship to a strategic bombing campaign than an actual photoshoot.
