[Leica] Two B&W with film

[Keith Wessel]

Lluis,

I am enjoying seeing what you are doing with film.  FYI, the first thing I did when I bought my current home (in 1980) was to build a darkroom in the basement.  I moved my darkroom to Denver for the Hart campaign in 87’  and after the Donna Rice debacle never used it again.  About 2004, I took a jack hammer to the floor to put in better plumbing.  Then along came digital and my darkroom became a storage room.  Now, however many years later, I am close to connecting all the pipes and once again having a darkroom.  Maybe three or four weeks and I will be there.

Hi Ted!

Thank you very much for looking and commenting.

Yes, I’m back to film, not 100% or not yet …? Why? maybe you and others will ask if I’m lucky to have a Monochrom that produces superb B&W images. IMHO the reason is simply, if you believe that a real picture is a printed one, and in addition the print is made from film in Silver Gelatin Baryta paper…., as I’ve did for my exhibition in Chicago, the quality is amazing and IMHO much better than any inkjet print. I have two friends in Barcelona they are doing a very nice, EXCELLENT! work in Barcelona with Piezzography , but I must say  again IMHO every medium has his own technology, the better technology to match film is the darkroom, and the better for digital inkjet and piezography. Maybe or FOR SURE! I belong to a different generation that our taste and preferences are for the classical film days …. this is a question of preferences … and my choice that I enjoy very much.

Cheers
LLuis
