I like all my photos to look the same, however they have been shot.  I
basically only shoot B&W 'seriously'.  I am extremely sensitive to
print tone and shades in B&W prints.  I display silver gelatin prints
from digital files and negatives together sometimes - when I do I want
them to work as a cohesive group.  I certainly do not want one group
to look one way and the other half to look visibly different.

I get suspicious whenever anyone tells me how anything 'should' look.
It looks how I decide, that's why I make it, otherwise I'd hire
someone else to come shoot it their way.  That's me.

And people hire me to get my look.  That's them.

Marty
