Frequently

I'm not sure why you snipped the context that explains where I would
frequently come across a number of professional photographers that
make their living shooting film in order to support your notion.

How did I support my notion, pray tell? I snipped you talking about art
shows, which said nothing about the amount of professional photographers
that make their living shooting only film.

Those art shows and the museums are where I see the photographers that
primarily shoot film ("only" is your construct, not mine). Since there
are a number of shows per year, as well as a number of photographic
shows in the museums per year, the number of photographers who shoot
film far exceed the "...one eccentric artsy guy..." that comprises the
notion you are trying to support. Is that really beyond your
comprehension to the extent that you required this explanation (which
you'll probably snip to present some other bogus point of view)?

Sandman:
Isn't the value of a skill in direct relation to how much you get
to apply it? Why value a skill you never get to use?

I always use the skills that I've acquired over the decades.

While I find that hard to believe, this really wasn't about you, was it?

That depends on what you meant by "...how much *you* get to apply it" in
your above statement. I typically regard the term "you" in that context
as a reference to me, which would make your comment really about me.
