I thought I would post a photograph of the United States Capitol Building in Washington, DC to commemorate the day. I captured\u00a0this photograph in the summer of 2005\u00a0using my medium-format film camera. I processed the film in my darkroom (which I finally dismantled and donated this year).<\/p>\n<p>I miss photographing and developing film but I don&#8217;t want to return to the &#8220;good ol&#8217; days&#8221;. Digital photography has changed the world. Most of us now walk around with a camera in our pocket that provides us instant gratification. Gone are the days of changing out the roll of film and sending it off to be developed. Social media would not be what it is today without the ability to photograph every element of our daily lives. And, there would be no &#8220;selfies&#8221; nor &#8220;selfie sticks&#8221;. So, the next time you photograph with your digital camera, think about all the time and effort you are saving compared to photographing with film.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1659\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1659\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/200507-Washington-DC-001b.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1659\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2016\/11\/election-day\/the-united-states-capitol-building\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/200507-Washington-DC-001b.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1188\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
