>>2579631You are arguing two different things.
No one is saying the process of making art isn't important, but when you are learning that process is mostly irrelevant.
You are learning how to use a camera, not creating works of art.
If you truly want to learn photography you will stop and think even with digital. You will consider what settings you are using, then take a shot with those settings. Now on digital you can instantly see how those specific settings affect a certain scene, and either see that they work, or try again and change something.
Set up a tripod, take the same photo changing one setting each time, and you now have a greater understanding of each of those settings and how they interact.
This is something film won't let you do.
Your photos aren't better just because they were taken on film.
