One of the age old debates in the photography world is, which is better?! who is superior?! "Print v.s. Digital". I'm not an expert on photography, but experts are not always right, they need to know what the world thinks, the world that uses pictures and images as a day to day object. they are all around us, we look at pictures everyday, they have become a part of our lives now, but we still need to know which is better, so here are some pros and cos on both the topics, the decision is yours to make.
Being a kid born in the 20th century I've seen both the sides, I grew up with physical photographs, and in the later years I was introduced to the digital world where everything is visible but untouchable...
