ABSTRACT
When Elissa Altman inherited her father’s vinyl collection, it spurred her to re-evaluate the merits of print and analogue media relative to digital forms – and she noticed that other people were doing the same. “Consider: a close family friend ditches his 12-megapixel camera for a Leica M6 Rangefinder,” Altman wrote in The Huffington Post (2009). “Culinary anthropologists Naomi Duguid and Jeffrey Alford shoot only film for their magnificent books … Letter-press printing communities are emerging everywhere, creating original cards and posters in response to their mass-produced counterparts.”
