Cleaning Digital Equipment

For those film gone digital users, I believe my story will get a resounding "Amen." The ever static charge digital sensor gets my goose. I am forever cleaning the mirror form dust, dog hair, even a fleck from the sensor cleaning brush itself. I do not ever remember cleaning my film cameras as often as I must with my digital equipment. My internal debate begins between leaving the digital for my commercial work and returning to the glory days of film. Sometimes I want to return to my Holga days; then, the inevitable question arises, " where do I go to process my film?"

Here I sit on a fence looking back at the days of innocence, slow moving, traditional photography. My Mamyia is lonely in a special plastic archival bag on a shelf with all the external hard drives. If a windfall of significant sum fell upon my bank account, I would be looking a medium format digital equipment. Until then, I am hunting for a dust free area to clean my sensor free of dog hair, couch fuzz, and sand tracked home from the beach.
