Remember when everyone thought digital technology would replace traditional creative crafts?
It certainly changed them—but it didn't eliminate them.
Over the years I've watched photography, printing, and graphic arts become increasingly digital. Yet today, more people are shooting film, making prints by hand, building things in workshops, and embracing creative processes that require patience and skill.
In my latest blog post, The Reverence Never Left: Photography, Printmaking, and the Search for Authenticity, I reflect on why these practices continue to resonate and what they reveal about our desire to create something real in an increasingly virtual world.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. Have you returned to an older craft, hobby, or creative process that feels more meaningful than its digital equivalent?
From analog darkrooms to AI disruption, a fine art photographer traces how film, printmaking, and the maker movement keep the reverence for craft alive.
