No one should dictate whether you should eat sushi or a hamburger right? ;-) Galleries that cater to "dead old photographers" still prefer silver gelatin prints. It has a certain cachet that might or might not be there. OTOH, I am now printing mostly on "fine arts" paper, mostly on kozo and washi, and have gone way past "silver gelatin".
