Warm and Soft
I was reminded of the Lomo camera craze while reading a Wired News article on the use of antique radio equipment for playing songs off an iPod or other digital music source. Technology is moving towards providing a unified vision of the world. Which is better: Monet's oil painting of a sunflower, or a high-resolution 6 mega-pixel digital image of the same scene? Is a painstakingly digitally mastered studio recording of your favorite band more enjoyable than a concert performance? Randomness is something we're losing in the never-ending chase for greater precision.
