[Leica] A bias when collecting photographs

[Richard Man]

For you personally, I don't see any problem with having a bias. It's just
what you prefer. 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".
