str - keep the pics of random rural towns in Spain and whatever eastern euro countries you visit. Its just a really cool to see the more analog lifestyle you capture.

str, I'd buy the coffee table book if you'd ever have your best pics of Spain printed 
- Ciclismo en España: Caminos de Tierra y Grava del Campo (Cycling in Spain: Dirt and Gravel Roads of the Countryside)
- Ciclismo en España: Mil Fotografías del Campo de España (Cycling in Spain: A thousand pictures of the Countryside of Spain)
- Ciclismo en España: Lejos de Las Cosas del Hombre (Cycling in Spain: Away from the Things of Man)
So long as it contains all those wonderful photos, it sounds like a winner.

They are quite similar in design but I give the edge to the Nemo Dagger 2 person. I was torn between which of the two to buy at the time but was leaning towards the Nemo because of a few subtle differences, and then caught a nice sale making the Nemo more affordable. I've been very happy with my decision.

A box with a lens with film in the back or a sensor in the back is just a tool in the end. Neither guarantees the ability to take strong images, so to me is not about real or fake, it's only about the image.
And I come from the era of working with film and going through the transition to digital in a working environment.
Do I miss working with film? Not really, but it had its own specific parameters, but again, it was what it was. Spent half my life in darkrooms, b+w , so can be nostalgic about the process. The skills I developed as a professional printer and photographer are still in my head, but do I miss the hours and hours of dodging, burning, changing contrast filters, manipulating the paper in trays of chemicals, washing, drying...,.? A little bit for "the process" and decades of getting really good at it, but not really.
And anyway, we just learned a whole new set of skills with digital and got good with that.
Just a tool though. A mediocre photo is still a mediocre photo.

quoting myself because I want to make it abundantly clear that I have in the past, do presently, and will in the future always take so so photos, that's just part of taking photos.
I wanted to add this because I realize it didnt sound very polite what I wrote before.
