Sometimes digital can seem so cold or calculated, the computers and microchips doing their best to make your pictures "good." The nice thing about film is that you don't have the luxury of previewing the pictures and because film is precious and limited unlike a flash memory card you tend to be more frugal with it. Digital can often become sterile or unemotional because you delete the soft images and you always get the shot with software that removes red eyes and face tracking focus software, and auto white balance. It doesn't mean you can't find the romantic image in a digital format. That's what today is, methinks. I have another version of this image in sharp focus and I had to mess up the white balance to get this image but I find it more comfortable in it's presented state, the inquisitive nature of a 2 year old making a farce of any framing effort, the kid just shows up and you push the shutter release and hope for the best.
