If you watched the video you saw that, because he had only 36 shots and no extra film to waste, McCurry took a
lot of test shots with his digital camera. It was an interesting experiment, and the results were spectacular and worthy of the historical significance of the project.
That said, the artistry in photography is
always not in the camera or the film or the pixels, but in the photographer. (That was a compliment to you, Gob, in case you hadn't noticed!
)
