Feedback from Luminous Landscape

In a discussion of beauty photography in the medium/large format forum over at Luminous Landscape, I posted my website along with afew examples of my beauty/fashion work with the H3. Two of its members objected to the current style of beauty and fashion saying,

"I've just looked at the site too. I think that what offends you isn't the camera, but simply that it's the current 'look' that is too spaced from any sense of reality. I appreciate that that's where the business is at, but it doesn't mean that one has to like it. I think the photographer is perfectly capable of doing his job, it's just that digital is like doing it with one hand tied up behind your back. Why? Because it creates an identity that can end up fighting you. Or maybe it isn't a film v. digi thing, but a case of PS over-dependency. Look at any of the top (new) fashionista sites and it all looks exactly the same, regardless of the story they are telling. Do you remember when simple things like grain could create mood...?

The thread carried on with heated discussion regarding digital versus film as well as the "over dependency" of PS. Without recounting word-for-word the entire discussion, I'll just send you guys on over to the thread so you can have a look yourself. While I think there were several valid points raised, I think there's backlash from the "old guard" to the direction of digital photography. As a result, the same people can't understand post-processing. Well, take a look then you can tell if I'm crazy :)
